The only night Bridge Climb in Europe

We will just do what a few brave people from Porto did for 45 years: enjoy an amazing night view in the most exclusive spot of the city! The only thing that was added is safety and confort... I will guarantee you exclusive access to the Arrábida Bridge's Arch; since I'm the guy who has the key to the arch (yes, at night I'm the only guide visiting it!), this is a unique and exclusive experience. We'll go up 262 steps to reach the summit of the Arrábida Bridge's Arch, where a quiet viewpoint lays just under one of the busiest bridges in Portugal. Up there, we'll have time to enjoy the view with a delicious surprise, and to celebrate the conquer of this national monument. In fact, this spot was occupied over the years by intrepid youngsters from Porto... the difference now is that we have steps, a handrail, two steel cables and an harness attached to it. This makes the experience suitable for everyone that can go up and down stairs, even if they have vertigo :) There will be plenty of time for sharing stories about the bridge and taking pictures. No one can believe it! Other things to note If you wish, bring your camera, mobile phone and/or go-pro. No special clothing or shoes are required, just something confortable (avoid short skirts to confortably dress the harness).

Rare access to Porto's secret Museum

This is one of those things to do in Porto! You'll enter into what looks like a typical house but actually hides one of Porto's most secret museums. From the first room of this 'palace' built-in 1893, you'll be stunned by the detail and density of the decoration. I'll tell you all that we know about the creator who was passionate about painting, sculpture, and literature. I'll ask you questions that will challenge your perceptions and will highlight the unique details hidden in plain sight. We will visit 11 rooms, and with each one, we will become more and more intimate with the house. What we will realize is that the taste that reigns here goes against the Modernism of the time, and we'll get to know more about the Portuguese painters who lived in the city and who so greatly influenced the culture in Porto. After Fernando de Castro's death, the house and its contents were handed over to Soares dos Reis Museum. This house is typically closed to the public, and very few people have visited it in the last 80 years. All this adds to that special feeling of having access to one of the most secret places in Oporto and just one of those things you can't miss in Porto. Other things to note As there are many breakable objects, and it is forbidden to touch them, children must be very well supervised to avoid damages.
