Discovering Porto

A growing collection of stories, places, and moments from one of Europe’s most charming cities.

Porto is a city that never runs out of surprises. Around every corner there’s something to photograph, taste, or simply enjoy — from morning light over the Douro to tiles that look like artwork and cafés that feel like living rooms.

This series started with just a few posts — my favourite places, beautiful street art, and the best parks — but it’s only the beginning. Over time, you’ll find more stories here: quiet alleys, viewpoints, photo spots, cafés, markets, neighbourhoods, and maybe even the odd rainy-day adventure.

Whether you’ve been to Porto or it’s still on your list, I hope these posts give you a feel for the city — not just what it looks like, but what it feels like to wander through it with a camera in hand.
