Tip of the Week
Wrap up for the evening chill
November evenings in Porto get damp and cold very quickly once the sun goes down around 17:15. If you are heading to a gig at Hard Club or dinner in Ribeira, pack a solid windbreaker or wool coat. The breeze off the Douro river cuts right through light autumn jackets.
