Hammered to the west by Atlantic waves, Porto entices with a pristine medieval centre, edgy architecture, high-spirited nightlife and a whole lot of soul. Trust us, you'll soon be smitten.
Gazing proudly over Porto from its hilltop perch, the fortress-like S evokes the city's past in its architecture and wields historical clout as the cathedral where Prince Henry the Navigator was baptised and King John I married.

Late-night parties
Every inch the hipster party pen, Galerias has bumper-to-bumper bars made for crawling from artsy-dowdy to vintage-chic, Parisian bordello to urbane sophisticate. Let the music and good vibes take you to nocturnal nirvana.
Jewish heritage
Old-world charm
