Best Cultural Experiences in Porto, Porto, Portugal

On all of my visits to Porto I enjoyed getting a taste of its unique local culture: Portuguese music, local crafts, architecture, indie shops, art galleries, and some great street art.

Read on to discover ideas for local cultural experiences and activities you can try out on a trip to Porto, even on a short city break.

It is so significant to the local culture that it has made the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage list.
