Porto's coffee bars multiplied as remote workers arrived. Barista Magazine counted six specialty coffee shops in the city in 2019 and, citing a Tasteology survey, more than 50 by October 2025.1 Wi-Fi is not limited to them: snack bars, pastry shops and student cafés offer it too.

The city also runs its own network. Since 2018 the Porto Digital association and the city council have offered public Wi-Fi in squares, streets and buses, and by September 2019 about 300,000 people had used it. In a survey of users, about one in five said they needed it for work or study.2

Local tip: Ask before opening a laptop at weekends. Some cafés that welcome remote workers midweek, such as Combi Coffee in Bonfim, don't on Saturdays and Sundays.

Where these cafés are: Bolhão & Santa Catarina (12), Cedofeita & Miguel Bombarda (11), Aliados & Clérigos (9), Bonfim (6), Marquês & Paranhos (5), Campanhã (4), Boavista (3), Aldoar & Ramalde (3), Miragaia & Massarelos (2), Foz do Douro (1), Matosinhos (1), Vila Nova de Gaia (1), Ribeira & Sé (1).
