The Palacio da Bolsa, or Stock Exchange Palace, is a 19th century building. It looks quite old on the outside, probably older than it is. However inside it's a different story. Several of its rooms are out of this world! Absolutely stunning. Pity you have...More

A five-star attraction for sure, but the pleasure we took from it was dampened by the required €10 tour, which was over-crowded and mostly failed to bring the history to life. Despite the beautiful and interesting building, we found the experience surprisingly unsatisfying and even...More

Amazing what the old merchants build here as their chamber of commerce. The tour cleverly build up the wow-factor from room to room. Do pay attention to the wood

An amazing build with great decoration and details. The guided tour allows you through much of the building. Worth your time while in Porto, but plan ahead as tours fill and you might have to find the best time for you to go

The problem with the Palace is that you can’t simply go inside and do a quick visit. You have to buy a ticket for a guided visit at a specified time and language. In my humble opinion the visit isn’t worth of 40 munutes of...More

Built on the site of former cloisters of the next door church it was intended to show visiting dignitaries the wealth of Porto and it does not disappoint

Interesting and lovely building. You have to be part of a guided tour. Could not be bothered waiting, so went with the Spanish tour. Used my own guide book.
