Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Situated in a recently renovated building in a historic part of Porto, Rio & Agua is well-lit, comfortable and elegant. The neighbourhood is quiet, but the bustle of the city centre is roughly a twenty-minute walk away. The river is a few steps from the apartment, and the balcony gives you lovely views of it. This home is more suited to a city getaway than a long stay as it doesn’t have a washing machine, but aside from that, it’s a convenient and well-designed base for all kinds of travellers.

Local guide
About Miragaia
Situated to the west of the city centre, and leading down to the Douro river, Miragaia is a jumble of medieval streets. Like Ribeira, it has brightly coloured buildings and sweeping views over the water. But unlike the city’s main riverside hub, Miragaia is tucked away from the usual tourist trails. In the evenings its restaurant and bar scene thrives, but it’s generally calmer area, with a strong local population...
