The impressive neoclassical fa\u00e7ade of the Pal\u00e1cio da Bolsa is not just tempting me to visit this building. There is a long queue at the ticket office hoping to get a ticket for the guided tour. Unfortunately, the next English tour is only 3 hours later and so we decide to just go along at the next opportunity. The building is just as beautiful in Spanish!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Located in the heart of the historic centre, this magnificent 19th century building was once the beating heart of the city’s commercial activities. The Pal\u00e1cio da Bolsa, or Stock Exchange Palace, was commissioned by the Commercial Association of Porto to cater for the city’s growing economy during the Industrial Revolution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
