If in our city there are many who confuse ‘b’ with ‘v’, there are few who would exchange freedom for servitude.” – Almeida Garrett (Portuguese writer, 19th century)
Our Mission
Welcome to our Porto, a city where those of us from here live with the pride of being from this place and of warmly welcoming and passionately hosting those who visit us.
Our guides are written from the unique perspective of those who were born, live, and breathe Porto every day. We want to share with you not just the obvious tourist attractions but also the hidden treasures that only true locals know.
Today, Porto is known worldwide for our famous wine and for some monuments that have gained fame on social media, but it is so much more than that. It is a place where tradition and modernity intertwine, where the chaos of the streets blends with the calm of the river, and where a vibrant life makes this city one of the best in the world.
Our mission is to provide you with an authentic and genuine experience, transforming our lived experiences in Porto into practical and unique tips for you to enjoy the city to the fullest, whether you’re a local or just visiting.
So, we invite you to explore Porto with us, to dive into its essence, and to feel like a true Tripeiro!

Sources of Revenue for the Website
We fund our work in the following ways:
- Affiliate links: These are links we use in some articles that redirect you to a product’s website, such as tickets for a museum. When you purchase tickets through our link, the company gives us a small commission from the sale, and the price remains the same for you. We only talk about companies and products that we like and trust. If we like the product and would use or recommend it to our friends, we use affiliate links with that company. If not, it won’t appear on our site. Despite using affiliate links, we will never abuse your trust by encouraging you to buy something you don’t need. For example, we won’t tell you to do X and that it’s essential unless it’s true. We’ll explain what we think, and then you can make the decision that’s best for you.
- We do not accept sponsored articles: This means we do not accept money in exchange for our opinions on a company or product. All our articles are written because we want to, not under pressure from third parties.
- If, on any specific occasion, we accept an invitation from a company to test its product, we will indicate that in the article.
