Introducing our Porto tours
Porto gave its name to a nation and to the wine that made its fortune - though the wine actually ages across the river in Vila Nova de Gaia, a technicality locals stopped correcting. Porto's people call themselves tripeiros, tripe-eaters, after a legend that the city sent all its meat to provision Prince Henry the Navigator's ships and kept only the offal for itself. Most cities would bury a nickname like that. Porto wears it like a badge.
Avenida dos Aliados plays at being a stately little Champs-Élysées, leading up to a City Hall the money ran out on for decades. The real Porto lives lower, in the Ribeira's washing-line tangle, and higher, in São Bento station's tiles, thousands of them, telling the nation's history in blue and white.
VoiceMap's self-guided audio tours linger at the Cathedral built before Portugal existed and the Torre dos Clérigos marking the skyline - then cross the Dom Luís I Bridge, engineered by a former partner of Eiffel, to the viewpoints of Vila Nova de Gaia, where the whole city tips into view.
Put your earbuds in. Porto rewards the slow route.

How the VoiceMap app works
-
Focus on your surroundings, not the screen
The VoiceMap app uses GPS to play audio automatically, at the right time and place, so you can focus on your surroundings, not the screen.

Follow a route with turn-by-turn-directions
VoiceMap tours follow a route from a fixed starting point. That lets us give turn-by-turn directions and use context to tell a better story.
-
Resume playback to go at your own pace
If you'd like to stop for a drink or go into a museum, end your tour then use the Resume feature to pick up exactly where you left off.

Listen as many times as you like
You can listen to your tours as often as you like using both the VoiceMap app and website.
