Porto

🕐 Local time

Porto is a romantic UNESCO city on the steep banks of the Douro, the birthplace of port wine. Its Ribeira old quarter, the Dom Luís I Bridge and the wine cellars of Vila Nova de Gaia create an atmosphere of unhurried beauty. The queer scene is smaller than Lisbon's but warm and fast-growing, with its own Pride in summer.
