December is undoubtedly the most eagerly awaited month of the year. Children and adults alike get carried away by the joy of the Christmas markets, eagerly awaiting the moment to exchange gifts. However, there’s more to life than that, so you can also experience all the magic at Christmas concerts in Porto.
To live this festive season to the full, we recommend a tour of the city’s lights, or even the best Bolos-Reis. However, we also believe that it is essential to celebrate the season musically. In this context, and if you’re a fan of the concerts typical of this time of year, we’ve prepared a special guide.
