Què farem?
Our walking tour explores the city center, more specifically the areas of Cedofeita and Bonfim. The meeting point is in a coffee place near the Clérigos Tower, where we will share a coffee while introducing ourselves and I'll explain briefly how we created this tour. From there we will walk, debate and search for hidden pieces of evidence of female presence in the city's streets.
Street names, public sculptures and street art are some of the physical testimonies we will find, but many of the important characters in this feminist version of history were left completely invisible. We will share with you many interesting stories about women that made history in Porto - writers, queens, intellectuals, activists, and, sadly, victims of the unequal world we live in. During our walk we will visit a feminist bookshop, the fine arts faculty, an abandoned building and even a cemetery.
At the end of our walk, feel free to ask us suggestions of other places to visit in Porto. We're happy to help!
Other things to note
This tour involves a moderate amount of walk - around 3.5 km. We'll walk at a slow pace but don't forget to use comfortable shoes and dress according to the weather. Bring your water bottle too!

Hi! I'm Laurem and for the past 4 years I've been working as a tour guide in Porto. After many years sharing the "traditional" (aka euro male centric) history of Porto, I thought it was time to rewrite this and create a more inclusive narrative of our city, its streets and monuments. With the help of MAAD collective - a feminist and interdisciplinary group of women - we designed a route that explores the city from a different perspective, highlighting the sexism that permeates urban space and history.
Our Feminist Tour shares the stories of amazing women that were born, lived or worked in Porto - from writers to artists, professors, activists and even a victim of the misogynist system we live in. Let's reflect on the history disseminated trough the city's statues and streets and collectively imagine ways to subvert it!

On aniràs?
We will start in the heart of the city, near the Clérigos Tower. While we walk, we will talk about the streets and statues named after women - who they are and what they did for the city. We will also check a feminist bookshop, an old jail, the Fine Arts school and pay a visit to a cemetery! Our tour ends in a special place were we will pay homenage to a forgoten victim.

Take this tour! It is especially great if you are a Solo Traveler like myself. I expected to learn interesting information about Porto as advertised, but I also expected to meet interesting people taking the tour. Laurem's stories about the women of Porto, were fantastic as were the other tour takers. We even had a lucky break on the tour. We got to go inside the home of one of her subjects and that has never happened before! If ever I got a chance to take another one of Laurem's tours, I wouldn't hesitate to do so!

Realmente um tour único e cheio de fatos que te fazem entrar em uma imersão cultural sem igual. Laurem e Alícia foram atenciosas conosco desde o início da nossa reserva. A caminhada em si é enriquecedora, vários detalhes interessantes sobre as diferentes mulheres da história do Porto e o papel delas na história local. Encantador, poderoso e real são as melhores palavras para essa experiência. Recomendo muito!
