I really liked the rooms inside and the explanations from the guide were great but I'd say that 7€ is a lot for it. If you don't mind the price then definitely go but on a tight budget skip this and do something more with the money. There's a student discount (4€) so bring your student card if you have... More

This is a beautiful building which has interesting and short guided tours. I loved the flooring made with wooden parquetry forming different patterns in each room. And the Arab Room is just gorgeous!!!

Many sites in Porto prohibit any photos, and I don't really get why. This is one of those places, and it's quite lovely. Only by guided tour, it was quite lovely, and really just a commercial building called a palace, of commerce.

The Palacio da Bolsa is still very much a working building so if you want to visit the rooms inside you must go with a guide. Our guide gave the tour in English and Spanish so it took a bit longer than we expected but was well worth it as the chambers feature some beautiful woodwork and floors, and the... More

We bought a joint discounted ticket with the Sandeman tour, but this means you don't get the €2 discount off your bottle of port so you need to work out which is the best deal! The Palace tour is very interesting, but the rood at the end is quite spectacular, definitely worth seeing.

Nice to see from outside both day and night. We're unlucky that somehow there was no guide on the day we visited.

Nice building, but they charge an entrance. The main atrium gives some notion. I dont know if it is worth but i don't think so.

it was a good heritage, but there was not too many things to see in it. There are guided tour in English, Spain and France, hours are set according to the first visitors' demand, and set the others accordingly.
