Where to stay in Porto District

Porto. The city lies on the right bank of the Douro, near its mouth. Its historic centre has been a World Heritage Site since 1996. A good fit if you want to explore on foot.

Vila Nova de Gaia. On the south bank, opposite Porto, linked by bridges such as the Luís I. This is where the port wine lodges are.

Matosinhos and Maia. Both have a metro link to Porto. Maia is practical if you arrive by air. We also have places in Gondomar.

Getting there

Francisco Sá Carneiro Airport is about 12 km north of the centre. Metro line E (Estádio do Dragão–Aeroporto) links it with the city, and there are also buses. If you arrive by train, Campanhã is one of the main stations.
