With the arrival of summer comes the return of longer days. As a result, the desire to enjoy even more leisure time begins to intensify. With no rain and plenty of sunshine, we feel like spending a good evening with friends or the better half at some of the best rooftops in Porto (and beyond).
That’s why we’ve decided to write an article dedicated to all lovers of terraces, good views and cocktails. Here you’ll find some suggestions for both Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia. From novelties to classics, nothing is left to chance.
However, it should be noted that there are still other, equally incredible places that, due to their seasonality, have not been mentioned. However, we’ll keep an eye out and update this list whenever it’s pertinent, so you don’t miss a thing. After all, the rooftop season is just beginning! Shall we take a look at these tips?
