May is one of the most special months to visit Porto. The city starts to bloom, the days get longer, the weather is just right, and the atmosphere is light — perfect for a getaway that combines discovery, relaxation, and good memories. If you still need a little nudge to make up your mind, here are 5 reasons to take advantage of this time of year and stay with us at Boavista Guest House.
Pleasant weather and a city in bloom
May brings mild temperatures and clear skies — ideal for exploring the city on foot, without the intense heat of summer or the shorter days of winter. From our guest house, you can walk to Casa da Música, relax in the Botanical Garden, visit galleries on Rua Miguel Bombarda, or head to the Crystal Palace. The city is full of color, and every corner seems to call for a photograph.
Events and special days that make a difference
May is a month full of beautiful dates — and opportunities to celebrate with a trip:
Mother's Day: Surprise her with a special night in Porto. We have gift vouchers for unique moments.
International Museum Day: Free museum entry and special programming. From the Serralves Museum to Soares dos Reis, you have several options just a few minutes from the guest house.
European Maritime Day: And the sea is right here. From Boavista to Foz, it’s just a short hop!
Sibling Day: Share a getaway with that sibling who’s your partner in all adventures.
These are just a few of the perfect excuses to pack your bags!
An authentic and peaceful city — without the big crowds
Before the summer tourist rush, Porto in May breathes authenticity. Cafés are still full of locals, museums have room to explore, and riverside walks are peaceful. Moreover, prices at this time of year are more friendly — both for flights and stays. It’s the ideal time to experience (or revisit) Porto at a relaxed pace.
