1. The Social Hub Porto

It is one of the most recent novelties in Porto – and therefore with one of the best views over the city. The rooftop of The Social Hub, on the eighth floor of a building that combines coworking spaces with accommodation and leisure, has a beautiful swimming pool, comfortable cushions for resting, a menu full of cocktails that reflects the spirit of Porto and, yes, an incredible panoramic view. While enjoying the sunny days, also order some of the dishes designed by chef Cláudio Nunes, from oysters from Ria Formosa, to shrimp from the coast of Póvoa de Varzim, lily sashimi from the Azores or a selection of seafood of the day. Without ever losing the traditional side, there are also canned fish and seafood options, from the Portuguese brand Cântara.
