The character of the walk
This walk focuses on urban details: the chapel’s tiles, the market’s trading passages and the stone tower of Clérigos. São Bento’s panels are inside a working station, so viewing them should leave passenger routes clear. Climbing the tower and visiting church interiors remain separate choices
Landmarks along the way
Chapel of Souls: a small chapel with tiled exterior walls; Mercado do Bolhão: a historic city market arranged around a courtyard; São Bento railway station: a railway station with azulejo tile panels in its entrance hall
Clérigos Church: a Baroque church with a tall stone tower; Carmo Church (Porto): a church facade decorated with blue-and-white tiles
