Located just North of Porto’s cultural heart, Boavista, this stylish apartment is an idyllic base for solo travellers visiting for work or couples seeking artistic exploration.
This apartment is sleek and bright, thanks to its expanse of glass doors opening up to a sun-soaked balcony. Spend mornings on the terrace with freshly brewed coffee and pastel de nata or gather around the table for a leisurely breakfast in the calm space – your host is happy to arrange breakfast if you wish. When you’re ready to peel yourself away from this breezy oasis, the vibrant neighbourhood has you covered for a sight-filled day.
Whether you’re interested in a concert this trip or not, Rem Koolhaas’s Casa da Música is worth a visit, or why not explore the historic Sé do Porto? We think lunch is well spent along the waterfront with a francesinha sandwich in hand. Spend the rest of the day exploring one of the world’s top art institutions, Fundação Serralves or marvel at the lavish fountains from Jardim do Passeio Alegre.
