4 Nights In Porto
$2090Spend 5-days & 4-nights in the heart of the old town of Porto! This charming 2-bedroom apartment in a completely renovated historic building offers all the comforts of home just steps away from the riverfront and a short ride to the beach in beautiful Porto, Portugal.
With the well-equipped kitchen you could cook for yourself but why would you when there are dozens of restaurants within a 5-minute walk (including a local favorite, Mistu, on the ground floor of the building and several charming cafes and bars on our block). The Duoro River is 2 blocks down the hill, and the Ribeira - the riverfront pedestrian area with shops, restaurants, water taxis and a view to all the Port wineries in Gaia, is a 3 minute walk away.
Porto is imminently walkable and the landmark tower at Clerigos is 10 minutes away, as is Gaia and all of the Port wineries. Take a day trip on the Douro river to visit some vineyards and then come back to sip some Port at the World of Wine. Your hosts would be happy to help with restaurant or other recommendations to make your trip a memorable one!
The modern Porto International airport is a 20 minute Uber ride away - and you won't need a rental car to explore and enjoy the city.
Take a peek at the beautiful apartment here.
