Porto, Portugal
The city that gave the country its name and the wine its own
Porto is Portugal's second city and its working capital, a granite town stacked on the north bank of the Douro with the wine lodges facing it from Gaia. It has been remade by tourism in a decade and is still arguing about whether that was a good idea.
The Romans had a port at the mouth of the Douro they called Portus Cale, and the county of Portucale that grew around it, granted to Vímara Peres in 868, gave the kingdom its name; Porto has counted from that year ever since. Henry the Navigator was born here in 1394, and the city victualled his father's fleet for Ceuta in 1415, sending the meat and keeping the tripe — hence tripeiros, the nickname Portuenses wear with pride. English merchants settled from the 17th century to ship the fortified wine that took the city's name, and Pombal demarcated the Douro in 1756, the first regulated wine region in the world. The liberal siege of 1832–33 and the failed republican revolt of 1891 made Porto the political counterweight to Lisbon. It was a textile and industrial city through the 20th century, and since the Ribeira's UNESCO listing in 1996 and the arrival of cheap flights it has become something else entirely.
The city stacks up from the river. The Ribeira is the medieval waterfront below the cathedral, all narrow stairs and laundry; above it the Baixa climbs through Rua das Flores and the Clérigos tower to Avenida dos Aliados, the granite boulevard with the city hall at the top, and the Bolhão market just east. Cedofeita and Rua de Miguel Bombarda, north-west, are the galleries and the student bars; Boavista, further out, is the business district around the roundabout and Koolhaas's Casa da Música. Foz do Douro, where the river meets the Atlantic, is the money and the beach promenade, and Matosinhos beyond it is the fishing port, the container terminal and the best grilled fish. Across the two-decked Dom Luís I bridge, Vila Nova de Gaia is a separate municipality with the port lodges along its bank. Bonfim and Campanhã, east of the centre, are the old working districts now being remade around the station.
The food is heavy and unashamed: francesinha, a sandwich drowned in beer sauce and cheese; tripas à moda do Porto; bacalhau; and petiscos with vinho verde from the Minho or a white port and tonic. Serralves, Álvaro Siza's museum in its park, and the Casa da Música are the two great modern buildings, and the city produced two Pritzker winners, Siza and Eduardo Souto de Moura, from its architecture school. São Bento station's azulejos and the Lello bookshop draw the queues. The night of São João, 23 June, is the city's own festival, when everyone hits everyone else on the head with a plastic hammer and the sky over the river fills with balloons and fireworks. FC Porto at the Dragão is the other religion, and the club's rivalry with Lisbon's Benfica is the north–south argument in football form. It rains, the accent is thick, and the city is proud of both.
The hard parts begin with housing: a decade of short-term lets and foreign buyers has emptied much of the Baixa of residents and pushed rents beyond a Porto wage, and the city is now trying to claw some of it back. Wages are low even by Portuguese standards, the bureaucracy is slow, and the hills and wet granite are hard going. The weather is Atlantic — mild but wet from October to April, with a damp that gets inside unheated old buildings — and the summer crowds on the Ribeira and the bridge can be dense. Lisbon still takes the decisions. What Porto offers is a compact, honest, unglamorous city that is cheap to eat in, beautiful in a sombre granite way, on the ocean with beaches a tram ride away, the Douro valley an hour upriver by train, and a population that is warmer and more direct than the capital's and knows it.
Where People Live
Ribeira & Sé
The medieval waterfront under the cathedral — the arcades, the rabelo boats, the cafés facing Gaia and the lower deck of the Dom Luís I bridge. The postcard, and the most crowded few hundred metres in the city.
Baixa & Aliados
The commercial centre climbing from São Bento station past Rua das Flores and the Clérigos tower to the Avenida dos Aliados and the Bolhão market. Where the shops, the francesinha houses and the tourist flats are.
Cedofeita & Bombarda
The arts quarter north-west of the centre: the galleries of Rua de Miguel Bombarda, the vintage shops, the Carmo churches and the bars the university crowd uses. Rents rising accordingly.
Boavista
The business district around the Rotunda da Boavista — the Casa da Música, the office towers, the Bessa stadium and the long avenue out to Serralves and the sea. Residential, prosperous and a metro ride from the old town.
Foz do Douro
Where the river meets the Atlantic: the beach promenade, the Pérgola, the lighthouse and the villas of old Porto money. Tram 1 along the river gets you there, and the sea is cold.
Vila Nova de Gaia
A separate city across the river with the port wine lodges along its bank, the cable car, the WOW cultural district and, further out, the beaches. Cheaper to live in, and many Portuenses now do.
Matosinhos
The fishing port and container terminal north of Foz, with a whole street of restaurants grilling the morning's catch on the pavement, Siza's Piscina das Marés and the city's best surf beach. Metro line A from the centre.
Bonfim & Campanhã
The old working-class east, with the Dragão stadium, the redeveloped Campanhã station and slaughterhouse, and the artists and families priced out of the Baixa. The next neighbourhood, by general agreement.

Living Here
Getting about
- Metro do Porto is a light-rail network of six lines, mostly above ground, running from Trindade in the centre out to the airport, Matosinhos, Gaia and the suburbs; STCP runs the buses and the heritage trams. An Andante card, or a contactless bank card, works on the metro, the buses and the suburban trains, with fares by zone.
- The centre is walkable but steep and cobbled; the Guindais funicular saves the climb from the Ribeira to the cathedral, and tram 1 runs along the river to Foz. Cycling is for the flat riverfront and the coast path.
- Francisco Sá Carneiro airport is about 30 minutes from Trindade on metro line E. Campanhã station has the Alfa Pendular to Lisbon in around three hours and the Douro line up the valley to Régua and Pinhão; São Bento, with its tiled hall, handles the regional trains.
- A car is a burden in the old city — one-way hills, no parking — and unnecessary; the metro, the trains and the coast tram reach everything a visitor wants.
Health
- São João, the university hospital in the north of the city, is the largest in the region; Santo António, in the centre, is the other main public hospital. CUF Porto and Hospital da Luz Arrábida in Gaia are the large private groups most foreigners use. The national health service (SNS) covers residents; non-urgent waits can be long.
- Dial 112. The SNS 24 line (808 24 24 24) gives advice and directs you to the right place; pharmacies, marked with a green cross, are knowledgeable and keep late hours by rota.
- EU and UK visitors can use the EHIC or GHIC in public hospitals; others should carry insurance. Private clinics are used to foreign patients and speak English.
Work & study
- The University of Porto is one of Portugal's largest, with a strong engineering faculty (FEUP), a medical school attached to São João and the architecture faculty that produced Siza and Souto de Moura; Católica, the Polytechnic (P.Porto) and a large Erasmus intake add to the student population.
- Textiles, footwear and furniture in the industrial hinterland, port wine and the Douro, the port of Leixões, tourism, and a growing technology and shared-service cluster — Farfetch was founded here — are the employers. Salaries are low for Western Europe and rents are no longer.
- Portuguese is needed for most local jobs and all bureaucracy, which is slow; the digital-nomad and residence visas remain, and the city is markedly cheaper to live in than Lisbon, if not by as much as it was.
Money & manners
- Euros. Cards are widely accepted and the Multibanco ATM network is everywhere; some tascas are cash only. Tip by rounding up or leaving 5 to 10%; VAT (IVA) is included. The bread, olives and cheese put on the table (the couvert) are charged if eaten.
- Portuenses are direct, hospitable and proud of not being from Lisbon: greet with bom dia or boa tarde, expect lunch around one and dinner from eight, and do not decline a second glass of port. The city drinks in the street on São João and is otherwise early to bed.
- The climate is Atlantic: wet and mild from October to April, with the rain often lasting days, and warm rather than hot summers with a sea breeze. Bring an umbrella and layers in any month; the sea is cold even in August.
