What we will do in this experience
Take a trip to the beautiful city of Porto and experience Portugal’s biggest games like a local. We’ve been around a bit. And we can safely say Porto will blow your mind! Portugal’s second city is a charming mix of cobbled streets, impressive architecture, and vibrant bars by the river. All washed down with some of the best local food and drink in the world.
The people of Porto are immensely proud. And to see this pride on full display – you can’t beat a trip to the Estadio do Dragao to watch the biggest games of the season in Portugal.
FC Porto v Benfica isn’t just a clash between one Portugal’s three biggest clubs. It’s north vs south. Capital city vs second city. And everything that comes with it. Locals say this rivalry sums up Portuguese life as a whole.
Where different views on history, politics, and life are exaggerated by the emotions of matchday. This is one of our most popular trips every season. So you better be quick!

Watching Porto beat Benfica 5-0, with Bernardo as the local host, was truly a trip to remember. This was my first trip with Homefans, and coming alone, I was slightly nervous about what my experience might be - but I had no need to be concerned! Porto is a beautiful, historic city that was a delight to explore. Bernardo, despite his young age, is a fantastic local host who loves both his city and his club, as well as the sport as a whole. From talking me through every step of the FC Porto museum tour, to going to the local pubs and talking everything European football before the game, to going to the game and experiencing the best atmosphere I've seen in a football stadium - Bernardo's passion for the sport and FC Porto really showed, and it was a real pleasure to spend the time with him. I would love to be back at the Dragão one some day, and would encourage anyone to go with Bernardo. Helping make sure that I got on and off the correct Metro back to hotel was certainly a bonus! And the Homefans experience as a whole was simple, well communicated, and an experience where you really feel like as a lover of football, you are among your peers. It is a fantastic idea to be able to experience these matches that you wouldn't be able to otherwise, and it definitely won't be my last.

Hugo was an amazing host who knew a lot about his city and his football team. He took us to one of the best restaurants in town and to all the good tourist sites and shown real passion at the game. A brilliant experience made easy from start to finish, the hotel was really nice and in the center of the city and the tickets for the match were great. I couldn't recommend HomeFans enough.

First, I want to give a shout out to home fans for a brilliant experience & thanks to our host Hugo. Everything was just perfect, food, the touristic places, vibe in the city and of course the match itself! Incredible derby, tense throughout and the atmosphere was crazy, credit to the Porto fans. Nice to share it with other travellers I met. Overall a top quality weekend.
