More info →March is Porto's sweet spot — the tourists haven't fully arrived, the parks are starting to bloom, and you can still get a table at good restaurants without a reservation. Hit Serralves on a weekday afternoon: the park is free for Porto municipality residents, and the new exhibition just opened. Bring a coffee from the café, take your time. This is the version of Porto that people who live here actually get to enjoy.
The best of Porto, every Thursday morning.
