Vibrant, historical, bubbly, beautiful and utterly infectious – Queer Porto is quickly becoming one of the most popular under-the-radar gay tourist destinations in Europe.
While the UNESCO Listed Old Town and centuries of history are appealing, we treasure Porto for the sheer amount of entertainment on hand by night and date, the burgeoning arts scene, all the delicious meal, its laid-back lifestyle and yes – the celebrated Porto gay nightlife. It’s almost as good as Lisbon. Almost.
LGBT acceptance in Porto is pretty elevated – even by Western European standards – and Portugal has some of the most progressive homosexual rights with gay marriage, same-sex adoption, a simplified process of legal gender identification and even a ban on discrimination based on sexual orientation enshrined in its Constitution.
All this means you will identify plenty of gay couples wandering the streets of Porto, posing for photos next to colorful doorways, getting cozy in any one of the delightful caf&e

I visited on a Friday late afternoon and my experience was very different to a lot of the other reviewers. I found the facilities to be very tidy and well maintained, with no evidence of smells at all. The staff were helpful and polite. That being said, the facilities are somewhat limited. There are just two saunas - one dripping and one dry and neither are as blazing as they would normally be. There is plenty of space, but is taken up with multiple private cabins, nearly all of which were unoccupied (but were clean). There were disappointingly no GHs, and no jacuzzi as other reviewers have commented. There were no chilly showers or a freezing plunge.
