Is there a lot of diversity? Are people in Porto accepting of differences?
When we asked people about diversity in Porto and whether locals are accepting of differences, they said...
"Porto is a city that is known for its rich history and culture, and while it may not be as diverse as some larger global cities, it does have a growing international community. This is largely due to its increasing popularity as a tourist destination and the presence of international students attending its universities. Portuguese people, including those in Porto, are generally known for their hospitality and openness towards foreigners. They are typically accepting of differences and are respectful towards people from different backgrounds and cultures. However, like any place, individual experiences may vary. Porto is also a city that values inclusivity, with various initiatives and events aimed at promoting diversity and acceptance. This includes cultural festivals, art exhibitions, and other community events that celebrate different cultures and lifestyles. In terms of LGBTQ+ acceptance, Portugal as a whole is considered one of the most gay-friendly countries in the world, and this extends to Porto as well. The city hosts an annual Pride Parade and has a number of gay-friendly establishments. Overall, while Porto may not be the most diverse city in the world, it is a place that generally welcomes and accepts people from all walks of life," commented one expat who made the move to Porto, Portugal.
