Porto is our home

We were born here, so we want to show you why we love Porto.

And why
you should too!

As friends that know each other for ages, we find ourselves in the same page and same line all the time. A lot of synchronicities happen when you’re that close. We created tripas-coração to get you to bond with Porto, as you would do with a long time friend. We want to help you experience the city as we do. And to love it too.

bond with Porto.

There’s something about Porto: the perfect combination between the hill, the river and the ocean; the mix between the old and the new that you see in buildings, in stores; the combination between the foggy mornings and sunny afternoons; the fact that you can walk everywhere; the food; the people.

oh… the food!

Porto is about the way people make you feel welcome!

It’s not about the scenery and trendy places it helps but it’s not just about it. It’s about the time you spend with your friends talking about everything and about nothing in a random bar. It’s about what happens in between. It’s that feeling that grows on you that makes you want to come back or never leave.

navigate the city like a local

As we see it, the tripas-coração experience is to be lived hitting the streets and getting lost in its secrets. That hidden square, that restaurant with no english menus, unexpected block parties or the book left beside the table: we give you all the insider tips and tricks to navigate the city like a local, off the beaten track, to get you to the heart of what really matters and give you a sense of Porto.

make new friends

We like to make new friends so we are more than happy to meet you in person. We like to share our stories and personal view of the city. And since we like adventurous, curious people, ready to see beyond the obvious; those who live in the moment and leave things unplanned; those who drift and wander without purpose; we are equally happy if you prefer to explore Porto on your own.
