Gay Travel Guide to Porto

Porto is an underrated beauty of a city, often overlooked in favor of its big brother, Lisbon. It has been named one of the Top 10 European Destinations by Lonely Planet, European Consumer’s Choice, and TripAdvisor. Located on the Douro River in the north of Portugal, it’s a city with great cultural and historical importance and is well known for its Port wine—hence the name! Porto boasts beautiful natural landscapes, towering bridges, impressive architecture, as well as great culture, gastronomy, and nightlife for its modest size. It’s one of the up-and-coming cities to visit in Europe, and the past few years have seen a huge upswing in gay and gay-friendly venues across the city. What's more, Portugal is probably one of the least expensive countries to visit in Western Europe, so your money will go far during a visit.
