City Of Wonders

City Of Wonders: Porto

This enchanting apartment is a wonderful place to call home during your stay in Porto. Perfect for a solo traveller or a couple, it has everything you need to make your stay in the Portuguese city a roaring success.

The host is dedicated to employing local designers and artists, and the result is a bright space which combines modern styling with a retro flavour. The wood-panelled walls create a warm, welcoming ambiance, and you'll love sipping a glass of tawny port on the sofa while you plan your itinerary. When you get hungry, you can whip up your favourite dishes in the kitchen using fresh ingredients from Mercado do Bolhão. And, there's even a workspace for catching up on those pesky emails.

From here, the magnificent Clérigos Tower is just a three-minute walk away, and the imposing Porto Cathedral is a ten-minute stroll from your front door. Bookworms can be first in line at the Livraria Lello, a magical bookshop just four minutes away on foot. And, if you wander through the cobbled streets of Ribeira, down to the Douro River, you can take a boat trip to see the city from the water.

Home truths:
*Your host can provide a cot and high chair for free upon request, with prior notice
*There is no lift access to this apartment and there are internal steps, so you'll need to be okay with climbing some stairs
