Porto in October

Autumn arrives with more rain

The short answer

October is one of the best months to visit Porto.

October remains mild enough for sightseeing, but rainfall increases considerably compared with summer. It can suit visitors who prefer a less summery city break and are happy to mix outdoor walks with indoor activities.
