LUNCH/DINNER

Unlike London and Paris, Porto it’s a city that sleeps, although it has a great nightlife during all week. There

are some areas (Industrial area chiefly) that are “on” all

night.

In Porto people like to have fun! Be it for a quick

cup of coffee or for a whole festive night.

The nightlife starts in small coffee houses in every corner of the city and around midnight people start to

go to the discos and other night clubs. The party stops just when the sun starts to rise and when the bakeries

open the doors to the public you can see groups of people having their breakfast together after a sleepless

night; this is a very common habit.

There are all kinds of coffee houses, pubs and night clubs in Porto here you can see some of the most

famous:

Coffee Houses:

Café Progresso Rua Actor João Guedes, 5 r/c

Café Ceuta Rua de Ceuta, 20

Majestic Café Address: Rua de

by in the afternoon or evening for a cocktail or cup of coffee and enjoy the entertainment provided.

Bars: Fado Irish Pub We're talking about fado: literal translation – fate, the

sad state of yearning and mourning that which has been lost. This is called saudade. The oddest sight that you

will ever see is when the radio stations play the Queen

of Fado, Amália Rodrigues, and every car pulls off to the side of the road so passengers can shed a tear of regret

to the accompaniment of a 12 string guitars' mournful wail. It seems as if this uniquely Portuguese

appreciation for sorrowful songs is an acceptance of the power of fate. You can hear fado music just about

anywhere in Porto. Don't worry, for you'll know its soulful and emotional sound anywhere
