Some places don’t demand change. They just hold space while you change yourself. Porto is one of them — a city that lets you linger, listen, and loosen your grip on what hurt.
You wander through cobalt-tiled facades and steep stone alleys, the scent of pastry and river air following close. A tram groans uphill. A seagull laughs. Somewhere, fado plays — half sorrow, half surrender. It matches your mood.
Here, you don’t have to rush to rebuild. You just have to arrive, breathe, and let Porto remind you that beauty still happens. Even now. Even here.
