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!

Parque da Cidade

The wonderful City Park

"Parque da Cidade" is Porto's Central or Hyde Park, and it's the only one in Europe with a seafront! It's one of my favourite spots to do outdoorsy things.

Botanic Garden

Small and beautiful oasis

"Botanic Garden" in Porto's Campo Alegre is a wonderful oasis in quite a busy part of the city. It's really worth discovering, if only as a relaxing refuge.

Running in Porto

Get in shape!

Running in Porto is a great idea: there are many races, from 5km to marathons. I've done them all and it's a unique experience. On your marks...!

Matosinhos Beach

Bring the board to Porto

I have connected "Matosinhos Beach" with a lot of memories from university. I used to do bodyboarding with friends here... What a relaxing time by the sea!
