Step by Step

Step into the magical world of Harry Potter with this private tour of Porto. Over the course of around 3 hours, a guide will show you the places that inspired J.K. Rowling to create her famous series. You’ll visit the Lello bookshop, where you’ll enjoy priority entry, without having to queue or wait for long. This place inspired the Hogwarts Library.

Your guide will take you through the streets of Porto; its historic centre is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is full of references that J.K. Rowling used for inspiration. Discover the Clérigos Tower and the Café Majestic, amongst other tourist attractions. Stroll through the narrow streets of the old town and marvel at the city’s medieval architecture.

The Clérigos Tower is a grand Baroque tower offering fine views of the city. This site served as the inspiration for the Astronomy Tower at Hogwarts. Enjoy the views and make the most of the opportunity to take some great photos.

The tour also includes a visit to the Crystal Palace and its large garden overlooking the River Douro. Explore this spot, which could well have inspired J.K. Rowling to create the grounds of Hogwarts. The author lived in Portugal for two years, and Porto was a major source of inspiration. Much of the mystery and darkness of Harry Potter is partly due to this city, which is full of remarkable architectural landmarks.
