Palacio da Bolsa

This is a spectacular monument that should be on any visitor’s list. We practically skipped doing so due to the mandatory guided tour. Nowhere did I read that the reason one cannot wanders on their own is because the building still serves as a place of work. Employees have important documents on their desks that should not be seen by wandering tourists. Our guide was lovely, witty, and informative. The tour is offered in four languages and the price for the visit and the tour is €10. The Palace is spectacular all around, but the Arab Room steals the cake. Inspired by El Palacio del Alhambra in Granada, Spain the room is beyond mesmerizing. A highly recommended visit.
