The Event
The best mood. Also for Tango
We are finally doing it.
We've been with Tango since 2001.
We've known each other and been working together for the past 16 years.
We are Friends at Heart.
We're passionate about Tango, we love Porto, we are happy organizing things together.
We've organized hundreds of milongas, workshops, classes, shows, events.
We have been invited to DJ at countless international and national events.
On the 21st of December 2023, Tango Mood was born.
For all these reasons and many more, after much thought and with the audacity that characterises us,
we have decided to do something new and our own to share with our Friends.
Perhaps it's easier to state what Porto Tango Mood 2025 is not:
it's not a Marathon, it's not an Encuentro, it's not a Festival.
What is it then?
Role-Balance? Trust us...we know what we're doing!
Codigos Milongueros? We trust You...we know who we're inviting!
We invite you to join us and draw your own conclusions.
Tango Mood, the best mood. Also for Tango.

In addition, there will be a bar, with nice prices... ​

Venues
Salão Ático
do
Coliseu do Porto
The Ático Hall of the Coliseu do Porto can be described as a gem in the heart of Invicta.
Built in 1941, it was the tea room and ballroom of Porto's haute bourgeoisie and nobility.
It has recently been renovated in terms of its appearance and facilities, but its Art Deco features have been preserved.
An event in this salon will be a first for the national and international tango scene.
We know you'll enjoy it.
Address:
Rua Passos Manuel, 137
4000-385 Porto
Café Lusitano
Café Lusitano has been a place for Tango (with a break) since 2005.
Since August 2024, Tango Mood has been organising monthly milongas (every 1st Wednesday of the month) in this sui generis and emblematic space of Oporto's nightlife.
It's perfect for true Milongueiros, for those who master the dance in a small space.
That's why we thought of this beautiful place for the opening Milonga of Porto Tango Mood 2025.
Those who know the place will be in for a surprise.
And so will everyone else.
Address:
Rua de José Falcão, 137
4050-215 Porto
The Passenger
Hostel
The event will end on a high note.
​
The Clock Tower Room at São Bento Train Station is a place with a very peculiar aura, where we feel transported to another dimension.
The Angel, who is a Woman, watches us fearlessly, with an intriguing presence.
It will be the end of this trip but also the beginning of the next one, in which we hope to meet you again and walk the Tango with the best "mood" of all.

Travel
Porto is Amazing!
We know you come to dance and meet old and new friends.
But what to do in the hours between milongas?
Trust us... it's worth sacrificing sleep!
Porto - the Invicta city - is the only city to have won the Best European Destination Award three times, among many other tourism awards.
The historic center is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the entire city has countless points of interest.
But especially, an incomparable atmosphere!
​
We prepared this map to help you discover it. So...enjoy the Porto Mood!
...and then dance!
Getting to Porto
Porto is very well connected to all of Europe, including through low-cost airlines (Ryanair, Easyjet, Transavia, Vueling and many others)
So, you'll most likely be arriving by plane.
The connection between Francisco Sá Carneiro Airport and the city center is easy, using the Metro line E. You must buy an "Andante" card and load it with a "Z4" ticket (€2.25+€0.50) at the available machines.
Afterwards, you can use the same card for other trips around the city, by topping it up.
There are also Taxis, UBER and BOLT available at the airport.
If you arrive by train or bus, you'll most likely arrive at Porto-Campanhã Station (TIC-Terminal Intermodal Campanhã).
At this station, you have the Metro, taxis and online platforms available for connection to the center.
​The closest Metro stations to the Event locations are "Bolhão" and "Trindade"
Public Transport
Porto is served by a public transport network (Metro, Buses and Trains).
The same "Andante" card can be used in any of them, just pay attention to the zones and corresponding tickets to be loaded.
Please note: it is only possible to change the ticket type after the loaded tickets have been used.
Taxi and Online Plataforms
Taxis are usually at specific points and are not hailed on the move.
The UBER and BOLT platforms are also available.
In general, the center of Porto is very easy to visit on foot. You may only need transport to some area a little further away from the center.
But be careful with the walking distances on Google Maps...the city has a lot of hills!
