Porto is compact, hilly and full of character, and its boutique hotels reflect the city's mix of faded grandeur and fresh creativity. The historic Ribeira runs along the river below the cathedral, while the streets around Rua das Flores and the Clérigos tower hold design hotels in restored merchant houses. Across the bridge, Vila Nova de Gaia is home to the port wine lodges.
Where to stay
The center around Aliados, Rua das Flores and Cedofeita is best for walking. Gaia offers views back across to the old city, and Foz do Douro, where the river meets the Atlantic, is a quieter seaside alternative.
Good to know
The city is steep, so a hotel near the top or the bottom of the slope can make a real difference to your days. Port lodge tours and a day trip up the Douro Valley are easy to arrange from town.
