Heritage Story: Porto

Experience the historic beauty of this UNESCO World Heritage city from this bright, comfortable apartment within easy walking distance of countless points of cultural interest. Dressed in contemporary decor with a boho edge, you’ll make yourself at home in no time whether you’re enjoying sunny breakfasts on the private balcony, kicking back on the sofa with a glass of local wine or sitting down to a meal around the table when you’re not out sampling the local food scene. With a stylishly pared-back bedroom, a rainfall shower and direct lift access into the apartment to boot, you’ve got everything you need for a carefree city stay.

When it comes to exploring nearby, make a beeline for the Clérigos Tower (an eight-minute walk), or discover why the stunning Livraria Lello bookshop is said to have inspired the Harry Potter series. You’re also within walking distance of Porto Cathedral, as well as vibrant Cais da Ribeira on the banks of the Douro River.
