Best Friends: Porto

Whether you're planning a work trip, a romantic getaway, or a solo holiday, this cosy apartment in central Porto is a great place to call home during your stay.

Step inside, and you'll find a serene space that exudes tranquility. The crisp white walls, wooden floors, and large windows create a light and airy space where you can kick back and relax between adventures. Practice cooking your favourite Portuguese dishes in the slick kitchen, before flopping down on the pastel pink sofa – perhaps with a glass of local port. And, when it's time for bed, you simply need to climb the stairs to the mezzanine floor and enjoy a restful night to get you ready for the next day.

Outside, you'll discover that this home is situated on one of the main shopping streets in the city, so indulging in some retail therapy couldn't be easier. Take a wander through the old town towards the river, and you can admire the traditional architecture and stunning churches on the way. And, when you arrive at the waterside, you can marvel at the famous bridges or even take a boat trip for a new perspective on the city.
