Full description

The Associação Comercial do Porto started the construction of the Palácio da Bolsa, its headquarters, and property in 1842. Over three generations, many masters and craftsmen worked to build this architectural jewel of the 19th century in neoclassical style. Great names in architecture, painting, sculpture, and decorative arts contributed to the construction of the building, which is now classified as a National Monument and one of the main attractions of Porto e Norte, receiving more than 450,000 visitors annually. During this 30-minute guided tour with a certified guide from Palacio da Bolsa, you will visit the authentic and impressive rooms of a building that is now over 180 years old, has received governors from almost every country in the world, and which is the location of most of the official state receptions held in the north of Portugal.

To book with a guide in Spanish you still have to queue, even if you buy the ticket online, so it's better to go first thing in the morning if you want to see it on the day. If the quota is full, they offer you the next pass or even the next day.

Very good!!! I recommend to those interested to book the visit in the desired language at the beginning of the day, as they need available time, so you can better plan your day. The visit takes place with a large group, which I believe will harm the development of the tour. But the explanations are great!!! I recommend!!!

We did not know you buy tickets, still wait in like to transfer your ticket from electronic to paper- that was not fun. And then the time we wanted was booked so we had to leave and come back. The tour itself is amazing. The palace is beautiful and well worth the visit. Just be prepared on the line situation as we were not!
