2.Tile Painting and Cocktails in Downtown Porto

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 187 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $42Top rated

At Boiler Studio in central Porto, instructor Daniela leads a two-hour English workshop on Portuguese azulejos, common tile colors, and local design. You will paint a tile of your own, enjoy a cocktail or juice, and collect your finished souvenir about an hour later.

“Boiler Studios offers a great intro to tile painting with with a super interesting overview of Portuguese tile history given by Daniela (who I think owns the studio). Chatting with the other attendee about their trips while making a great souvenir and sipping a cocktail made for a perfect afternoon! The studio is also very close to many tourist attractions so it's easy to combine. And they offer a Pastel de Nata workshop which partially overlapped with our class, which I didn't end up trying but plan to when I return.”
