  1. A

    Solar Do Vinho Do Porto

    In a 19th-century house near the Palácio de Cristal, this upmarket solar (manor house) has a manicured garden offering picturesque views of the Douro. There are hundreds of ports available as well as refreshing aperitifs, such as portônico (white port and tonic water).

  2. Gaia's Esplanade

    Just across the river from the gritty Ribeira waterfront, Gaia's esplanade is trendier (though also more mainstream). A string of identical looking chrome-and-glass bars and nightclubs are surrounded by open-air decks and designer fountains. Poke around until you find your scene.

    Vinologia

    This cosy wine bar is an excellent place to sample the fine quaffs of Porto, with over 200 different ports on offer. If you fall in love with a certain wine, you can usually buy a whole bottle (or even send a case home).

    Restaurante O Fado

    Porto has no fado tradition of its own, but you can enjoy the Lisbon or Coimbra version of ‘Portugal blues’ into the wee hours at Restaurante O Fado.

    Caos Galeria Bar

    Candle-lit and done up in shades of grey, this place is the hippest central place and regularly holds after-hours parties featuring chilled-out electronica.
