Porto combines riverside streets, tile-lined interiors and views across the Douro. Pair the Ribeira waterfront with a crossing to Vila Nova de Gaia.
Planning your days
Ribeira suits a river-focused stay; the upper centre makes sense for São Bento and nearby streets. Cross to Gaia for a different view of Porto. Expect steep walks between the waterfront and the upper town.
