Weekday vs Weekend

#

For a relaxed exploration without long queues, weekday mornings, especially between 9am and 11am, offer quieter periods with fewer visitors at Clérigos Tower. Weekends see higher footfall (particularly from 11am to 3pm), so arrive early or late to avoid the crowds and enjoy a peaceful experience.

Peak season vs low season

#

From late spring to early autumn (April to September), Porto experiences its peak tourist season with warm weather attracting a high volume of visitors. Crowds are larger and attractions like the Clérigos Tower often have long queues. Despite this, there is a vibrant atmosphere. During the winter months (November to February), Porto enters its low tourist season. The temperature is cooler and there might be occasional rain, but visitors can enjoy a quieter, more budget-friendly experience.

How long should I spend at the Clérigos Tower?

If you’re short on time and your goal is to climb the tower for a panoramic view of Porto’s skyline, you can wrap up your visit in 30-45 minutes. The climb takes about 5-10 minutes one way, but this will depend on your physical health and the crowds.

If you’ve got more time and also want to combine your visit with the church and museum, you can easily spend about 90 minutes exploring the entire complex.
