Rooftop Fandango

Rooftop Fandango: Porto

Situated on Porto’s famous Rua das Galerias de Paris, this neat studio apartment is the perfect base for those looking to experience all the city’s nightlife has to offer. You’re right at the heart of the action here, so why not make the most of it? Start your evening with a tipple on the roof terrace, then head out to one of the nearby restaurants, bars, or discotheques for a fun-packed night of drinking and dancing. When the sun comes up, treat yourself to a breakfast of fresh pastries from one of the local bakeries then snuggle up in bed for a quick nap before heading out again to explore.

You don’t always have to be in full-on ‘party mode’ here – with Palacio da Bolsa, Clérigos Tower, and Igreja do Carmo all within striking distance of your front door, there’s plenty of impressive monuments to discover during daylight hours. Spend your afternoons sightseeing in the glorious Portuguese sunshine, then come home to your cosy studio for a delicious home-cooked meal. What could be better?

Home truths:
*This home is in a very lively area so noise is to be expected, especially at weekends *Though there's enough bed space for four people here, we'd recommend a maximum guest count of two – at full occupancy, two guests will be sleeping on a sofa bed *The roof terrace here is shared with the building's other residents *Your host can provide a cot and high chair for free upon request *Though there isn't a dedicated desk here, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace *Parking in Porto can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to the easily accessible public transport where possible – though we think the best way to see the city is on foot
