Colourful Vibes in Porto

Irina was born with a soft heart and an intense spirit. Her fierce passion for dance led her to know the entire world to share skills and build experience. The freedom of expression she found in this art form combines with her love for a challenge. Street dance is like an escape room to Irina.

An imaginary place where her moves breathe with the city. A personal bubble where the rhythm of the music mirrors the sounds of her existence. That’s why Irina travels. To find inspiration, to look for places with a cosmopolitan mood, a fast pace and a vibrant pulse. Places just like the city of Porto.

Street Art is all around in Porto, and you’ll find several buildings decorated with breathtaking works. Here you have Rua da Cedofeita adorned with Youthone’s colourful graffiti!

Porto is a gateway between ages. It is vibrant, historical, bubbly and classic all at the same time.

Portugal is all the Colours!

Porto is quickly becoming one of the most popular LGBTI tourist destinations in Europe. Centuries of history have built Porto’s undeniable heritage and shaped its strong character. Today the city offers a pulsing lifestyle.

There’s a burgeoning arts scene, and an exquisite food offer, with fantastic street art pieces in every corner, such as visual artist Joana Vasconcelos’s major public art piece (seen here) near the Clérigos.

Attractions in Gay Porto

Gay nightlife in Porto takes place in many bars and clubs offering parties and events.

The LGBTI community enjoys an atmosphere of respect and acceptance as Portugal has a progressive legal frame concerning gay rights. Gay marriage, same-sex adoption, a simplified process of legal gender identification and even a ban on discrimination based on sexual orientation are ensured in its Constitution.

Porto’s gay scene serves up a variety of cultural events and the biggest of these is Porto Pride in September, the annual event, and there is also Queer Porto – Porto International Queer Film Festival, in October. If you are looking for smaller events, it will be pretty easy to experience Porto’s gay spirit throughout the year and you can always find out more by asking around.
