" Porto moves. It invites and pleases. It's renewed. More cosmopolitan and bohemian.
It inspires us.
Its new geographies are crossed by several european cities trends and
experiences. There is more and more Berlin, London and other capitals
inside this map. This is the new Porto, cool and appealing."

"Bustling with commerce, the design-savvy city of Porto
plays a convincing Milan to Lisbon’s Rome. Its pristine
beaches, 10 minutes from downtown, give it a touch of
Malibu, too."

"The random splashes of creativity in street art and
azulejos, the musty cellars of big-name port lodges,
the design scene, the high-spirited nightlife, the
glorious food... Even when you can’t see the river,
you can sense it; even when you can’t see the ocean,
you can smell it. Trust me, this is one soulful city
and you too will soon be smitten."

"Porto is exceptional. In more ways than one. The
"Cidade Invicta" (Unvanquished City) is history,
is architecture, culture, gastronomy, trade,
encounters and discoveries. Porto knows how to
make you feel welcome; very likely it will conquer
your heart and leave a long lasting impression.
You will find it hard to leave."
"Porto and Northern Portugal are perfect for
retirees who want to have an active social
and cultural life and benefit from an airport
connected to the whole world. Porto enjoys an
incredible quality of life and all the facilities
of a large city such as the many shops, public
hospitals and private clinics, but also a direct
access to the sea and a magnificent river,
the Douro."
"At night, we like to have a good time in
good company,and Porto offers just the right
places for this. There are places which are
welcoming and intimate, or more modern ones,
with innovative and open-minded concepts,
spaces with spaces within, where an assortment
of cultures and arts live side-by-side, showing
off the creativity and irreverence of the city’s
young creators, and gay friendly ones, where
no one will feel discriminated against. "
