Let’s be honest: nobody likes toes, except people who really like toes (wink). However, and even though feet are like marmite – you either love it or hate it – it’s always amazing when you get to pamper yourself by the hands of great professionals who know how to do a proper pedicure! Ladies and Gentleman (yep, feet don’t care for gender)…
HERE ARE 4 PLACES IN PORTO WHERE YOU SHOULD GET A PEDICURE/MANICURE
MARIA BONITA

With 3 different locations scattered across the city, Maria Bonita is starting to become a household name in the art of helping women release their inner goddess. The prices to make your feet shine can range from just 5€ (just to swap your nail polish) to 26€ for a complete pedicure treatment with a more resistant varnish made from a special gel. As its name suggests, you will definitely feel pretty (though not Maria) once your feet make-over is done! Maria Bonita is open from Monday to Saturday between 9am and 9pm.

SUBLIMIS
After spending the day walking endlessly, up and down the centre’s steep and unforgiving streets, your feet will have you feeling like killing yourself. That being said, if you’re looking for a place to heal your body’s base and support, for the fair amount of 7,5€ you can book your session at Sublimis. We promise your feet will be happier than that stupid animated penguin! Sublimis is open from Tuesday to Saturday between 9h30am and 7pm, with a stop for lunch between 1pm and 2h30pm.

This is a fan-favourite type place for those who indulge in a little foot fetish. Don’t believe us?

Just be careful: a service so perfect and indulgent can become a true addiction and you can find yourself compulsively looking for flights to Porto just to get a pedicure!

Porto de Vista is open from Tuesday to Saturday between 9h30am and 7h30pm.
Needless to say, male customers can also get a pedicure in any of these places, so feel free to expose your little piggies without gender restrictions! Just pick your favorite spot and let us know all about it on the comments section!
