What's not to love about this bright and modern studio? It may be pocket-sized, but what it lacks in square footage, it more than makes up for in amenities. The fully-equipped kitchen has everything you'll need for self-catering and the air conditioning is a welcome respite after a long day in the sun. From the rainfall shower to the communal courtyard and shared gym, there's no denying that this pad nails it when it comes to convenience. Start the morning with a quick breakfast and a coffee at the dining table, overlooking the gorgeous courtyard below. Once you're fully caffeinated and ready to explore, set off for a bit of sightseeing. With busses, trams and metro stations nearby, you’re well-connected to everywhere. First, wander through the gardens at the stunning Palácio de Cristal – it's basically next door – before visiting the cafes and galleries in Porto Art District. Fifteen minutes on foot will get you to all the restaurants, shops and must-see sights downtown – including the famous Igreja do Carmo – or you can walk down the promenade next to the Douro River, perfect for a sunset stroll.

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...
