📊 The evidence behind this guide. This pass counts the rooftop and river-view bar mentions of the 62 English, 30 Portuguese and 6 Brazilian publishers named in where to eat in Porto. Porto-only sites without a named newsroom and tour operators are not counted. Counts are publishers, not pages, and the three languages are shown apart. The hours and rules come from each bar’s own page where it prints them. The rooftop is a mainly English-language list genre: the Portuguese publishers barely write it. How the guides are made
⚠️ Check the hours. The Terrace Lounge 360º closes at 19:00 on Sundays, and Mirajazz at 22:00 every day.
