There’s always something happening in Porto, so be sure to grab tickets to see a concert at Casa da Música or a play in a local theatre, plan a museum hop, and be sure to spend a day at Serralves visiting its exhibitions, gardens and other events. Summer is for outdoor music festivals and the traditional São João festivities which are an invitation for an amazing street celebration.

Taking a stroll is a year-round cultural adventure as you head down unknown paths, discovering the city’s incredible historical centre with its fabulous façades, the iconic Livraria Lello, Portugal’s most famous bookstore and where it is said J.K. Rowling was inspired to write the Harry Potter saga. Before you know it, you’ll be down by the riverside, contemplating another important piece of the city’s cultural puzzle: the Douro River and its legendary port wine traditions. Discover a Porto you never knew existed.
