Über dieses Abenteuer

Before having his name linked to a House Museum, Fernando de Castro grew up as the son of a merchant whose shop at the end of Rua das Flores sold wallpaper, mirrors, crystal and glassware, and represented the French company Saint Gobain, created to help decorate Versailles.

During his youth, Fernando worked professionally in the family business and witnessed periods of intense change in the history of Portugal. He saw the fall of the monarchy and the rise of the republic, the First World War and the first decades of the dictatorship. Especially during this last period, many medieval buildings were stripped of their gilded woodwork and many artefacts of artistic and religious value.

Possibly Fernando, the collector, poet, caricaturist and designer, was the result of these changes and shaped his habits and tastes by their impact on his life. As a lover of art and culture, he visited art dealers and antique shops, transforming his home, where he lived between the late 19th century and the first half of the following century, into a living work of art.

Between the sacred and the profane, this is one of Porto's best-hidden gems!

Für wen es ist

Allow 2.5 to 3 hours. Anyone after a quick stroll or a tour of street murals should pick something shorter.

Ein paar Antworten vor dem Start

Häufig gestellte Fragen

Is this a self-guided street art tour of Porto?
It is a self-guided art walk played on your phone. It focuses on Porto's art spaces rather than murals: the National Museum of Soares dos Reis, the street galleries of Miguel Bombarda, the Salão 'Silva Porto' and the House Museum of Fernando de Castro. Each stop comes with its story and a puzzle.
Where does the walk start and finish?
It starts at the Portuguese Colonial Exhibition stop and finishes at the House Museum of Fernando de Castro, so it does not end where it began. In between you pass Republic Square, the primitive chapel of the Virgin of Lapa, Foot-Ball Club do Porto and Marquês Square.
How long does it take and how far is it?
The route covers 5.2 km, and most players take about 2.5 to 3 hours, walking and puzzles included. You do not have to do it in one go: you can pause the quest and continue later from where you stopped.
Is it free, and do we need to book a time?
It is free to play. There is no group to join, no guide and no time slot to book, so you can start whenever suits you, on your own or with friends walking together.
