Enter the magical side of Porto on a private Harry Potter tuk-tuk tour — a 2 hour electric tuk-tuk experience dedicated to J.K. Rowling’s years in the city, the places said to have inspired the world’s most famous young wizard, and the legends that give Porto its unmistakable fantasy atmosphere.

- See Livraria Lello and uncover the facts and myths behind its magic
- Admire the Maria Pia Bridge and Porto’s most cinematic fantasy views

- Explore privately in a comfortable, silent 100% electric tuk-tuk
What you will see
Begin near the magnificent Café Majestic, one of the world’s most beautiful historic cafés, where J.K. Rowling confirmed she wrote while living in Porto. Continue to São Bento Station, whose monumental blue-and-white tiles evoke the romance of a certain magical railway journey, then explore the medieval surroundings of Porto Cathedral — ancient streets, dark passageways and viewpoints straight out of a fantasy novel.
Ride towards the Douro to admire the Dom Luís I Bridge and the dramatic iron arch of the Maria Pia Bridge, built by Gustave Eiffel’s company. Pass the colourful Ribeira, discover the Escovaria de Belomonte — a traditional brush shop worthy of a wizard’s broom workshop — and finish in the academic quarter: Clérigos Tower, the exterior of Livraria Lello, the University of Porto, the Carmo and Carmelitas churches with the curious hidden house between them, and the winged creatures of the Fountain of the Lions, so often linked to the black-caped students of Porto and the atmosphere of a famous school of witchcraft and wizardry.
Your local guide separates fact from legend: which Harry Potter connections are documented, which are popular theories, and which belong to Porto’s own modern mythology.
