Twice a year, the clock’s hands change, and we have to get used to a new rhythm. Some people prefer daylight saving time, but others can’t wait to enjoy the comfort of their blankets even more—if that’s you, we have news for you: the time change is coming this weekend, specifically in the early hours of October 24–25.
In mainland Portugal and the Autonomous Region of Madeira, this means that at 2 a.m., the clock hands will be set back one hour, making it 1 a.m. In the Autonomous Region of the Azores, however, the adjustment takes place at 1 a.m., making it midnight.
What will change in Porto?
Essentially, the days start to get dark faster, and long walks outdoors to enjoy the warm colors of dusk are no longer taken around dinnertime. Little by little, sunset comes earlier and earlier, but the city of Invicta will take on a charm all its own, with the golden hues of fall.
This is the perfect excuse to swap the outdoor terraces for some of Porto’s most charming and cozy cafés, order a hot chocolate, and enjoy the lights of Ribeira coming on earlier. That said, the truth is that this reality still seems a bit far off, since the thermometers are showing high temperatures—at least for now!
