WE ARE YOUR HOME IN PORTO!
Explore the enchanting city of Porto, Portugal’s second-largest city and a European gem renowned for its beauty. Locally, we’re affectionately known as ‘Tripeiros‘, a nod to our culinary specialty, Tripas à Moda do Porto.
Our city boasts a rich culinary landscape, offering an array of delicious cuisines complemented by exquisite wines. From the refreshing ‘verdes‘ of the Minho region to the robust ‘tintos‘ from the Douro Valley, not to mention our celebrated Port Wine, perfect for any occasion, whether as an aperitif, a digestif, or a toast to joy.
The people of Porto are known for their hard work, solidarity, and warm hospitality, with a penchant for celebration. The city comes alive during the ‘São João‘ festival on June 23, where you’ll experience Porto’s vibrant nightlife, attracting people of all ages with its jubilant atmosphere. Music, dance, grilled sardines, ‘farturas’, and other local delicacies fill every corner, turning streets, squares, and gardens into a festive scene.
We’re also your guide to the city’s hidden gems, from breathtaking sunset spots and golden sandy beaches to the ideal places for enjoying ‘Fado‘ over dinner, featuring local specialties like cod or a ‘francesinha‘. Discover the best seaside terraces, and a range of dining options from local favorites to sophisticated Michelin-starred restaurants.
Porto is more than just a city; it’s a heartfelt emotion. Truly, only those who live here can fully appreciate Porto with the ‘eyes of the heart’, sharing this profound feeling with visitors, an emotion so intense it almost ‘bursts at the seams’.
