""Porto Cruz" in Porto not only is a great place to taste port wine, it has a terrace with breath-taking views. I take the people from my tour guides there!"

This place is really amazing! When the weather allows and if I'm going to the Riverside of Gaia, I never miss the opportunity to go up to the terrace of the Porto Cruz building, enjoy the sun and drink a glass of Porto cocktail while I catch some fresh air. Because I am working as a guide during the weekend, I consider this special spot a surprise for my customers. I really like showing them this bar. I usually tell them that Porto Cruz is not only a Porto wine brand, it’s also a place where we can enjoy the beautiful landscape of the Douro river and Porto while we are enjoying a drink and listening to some some good, modern music.

Porto Cruz has joined their production of Porto wine with a great building with a terrace lounge on the top floor where we can experience the different ways of Porto wine tasting. I really love some of their cocktails with Porto wine. My favorite is a mix of Porto wine with passion fruit juice. And when I am hungry, I only need to take the elevator to the previous floor, where the restaurant is located. More than a Porto wine brand, Porto Cruz is also an excellent spot to enjoy a great afternoon where you can see the people having fun during the day.

Foz, Porto's seafront

Beaches north to south

Foz and Porto's seafront is definitely for me my favourite part of the city! In summer it can get crowded, but that's because it's Porto at its best!
