Historic Oporto Apartment (apartment)

Home description

This apartment is located on the waterside in the UNESCO World Heritage area. Across the Douro River are the famous Port Wine 'Caves'. This is a quiet apartment, very romantic and with great views (waterfront).

Oporto is famous for its Port. Visit one of Oporto's most traditional establishments, for a tour and tasting. Oporto is so picturesque: with the old wine boats plying the river in front of you, and traditional port lodges behind, the medieval old-town clinging to the opposite bank and the skyline punctured by the Cathedral and numerous churches.

The cathedral in Braga is a sight not to be missed and the nearby town of Bom Jesus has a medieval castle with some of Portugal's finest examples of Azulejo tiling.
