palacio da bolsa印象

They only allow guided tours because the place is still used for administrative meetings of the city's municipality. So you have to pay a substantial fee and the only breathtaking place you see is the Arab room. All the rest are just pompous rooms with painted ceilings and heavy wooden furniture. It's not like it's Louvre or Versailles. Our guide was great - funny, interesting, full of stories, but the place still seemed quite boring, to tell the truth.

Visiting the Palácio da Bolsa it is a unique experience. This palace was used as stock exchange till 1992, for more than 100 years. The Pátio das Nações (Nations Courtyard) it fantástic, all the rooms you can visit: The commercial court, silll used nowadays, and, of course the arab room, absolutely unique. The telegraph room it is curiosity!The guide that showed us the place knew everything about the building, and she was very nice and helpfull. You can buy a ticket wich allows you to visit Sandeman Portwine cellar.

As you must join a tour to see this imposing and grand building you really can't set your own pace. Most of it is not so interesting, but most worthwhile is the Arab Room, the last item on the tour. It is a marvellous presentation hall decorated in the Arabic style and took about 20 years to complete in the late 19th Century.

We arrived at 9:30 to Palacio da Bolsa to avoid crowds. It opens at 9 am and were told the next English tour would be at 11:30. The skill of the artisans that spent 18 years finishing it is unbelieveable. Best to check in early to buy a ticket and then plan your day.

The Arab Hall is a unique and exclusive piece, universally recognized as the crown jewel and the most emblematic of all the rooms of the "Palacio da Bolsa", embodying the ultimate expression of neomourisca art in Portugal. Inspired by the Alhambra Palace in Granada, this impressive hall, many also call Noble, for their obvious signs of abundance and opulence, produces in those who visit an alluring effect, splendor and wonder of great visual weight. A must see at Oporto (There is a guided tour)

The Palacio da Bolsa was the center of trade in Porto until the 1990s. It's not a huge place but the the tour will take about an hour because they are usually in two languages (ours was in English and Spanish, with the same guide providing both commentaries). It's definitely worth stopping in because of the Palacio's historical role, the architecture and design in the building, and of course, the Arab room, which was inspired by the Alhambra in Spain. It is a stunning room and is still used today for piano/music concerts and state functions. Side note: Different language tours are offered during the day and so, you might want to stop in and see what time your language tour is at, buy the ticket, and then wander down or around that area and come back. You can ONLY see the Palacio via a tour so this is an important little detail to keep in mind. They also have wine tastings in the evenings, which you can pay extra for if you are in one of the later tours.

The stockmarket palace is very glamorous, one of those places to stop to appreciate the magesty on it. It has a very good, also expensive restaurant, that is totally worth it!

This building and tour is a great attraction in old Porto. The tour guide was very professional and spoke several different languages, providing an informative tour for both the French and English folks in our little group.The building was built in the middle 1800s to early 1900s as the stock exchange "palace" where business could be conducted. When we were touring, it was still being used for corporate / networking lunches. We saw many of the old rooms including the glittering Arab room which was being set up for as a venue for lunch. This was by far the most impressive and gets the most attention. The other rooms, while less "glittery" do have some impressive ceiling to wall murals, mostly depicting glamorized events in Portuguese history. There are also some great views of Porto from the rooms of the palace, especially of the river walk area and old downtown Porto.

The building has beatiful rooms to visit. It is worth popping in and having a look. Ask to see the Arab room (Salão Árabe) the most beatiful one. If you only see one room, that needs to be the one.
