Workation in Porto: the essentials
Granite terraces drop to the Douro at Ribeira, and across the river in Vila Nova de Gaia the port wine lodges line the bank. Portugal's second city has about 270,000 people in a small municipality and 1.9 million in the metropolitan area, and its historic centre has been a UNESCO site since 1996. Coworking is abundant, the metro runs out to the airport about 11 km away, and the Atlantic beaches begin at Foz and Matosinhos. Winters are wet and the lower town gets crowded with visitors. From almost anywhere near the river, expect a steep walk home.
