Ribeira at night is wonderful, it´s full of pubs by the Douro river. Piolho and Gestoá Café are the students meeting point. Fantasporto is a festival of fantastic cinema, quite good. Besides, Parque da Cidade, Palacio do Cristal are beautiful parks. Rua Santa Catarina is a downtown street full of shops.

Piolho is THE place in Porto where all the young people gather before going to a bar,club... If you are in the city and don't know where to go, go there and ask people where you can go after, as it closes already at 2 am

The best time is the time spent with your friends. There are wonderful places near Foz and Ribeira. For a dinamic nightlife, there are clubs in the center of the city full of students starting with midnight.
