The Avenida dos Aliados is often considered to be Porto's most awe-inspiring street, and this home is just a matter of metres away from the hustle and bustle. However, despite its super central location, this apartment is surprisingly quiet and chilled out. It's the ideal haven for a small group visiting Porto and still retains much of its traditional charm, from the rustic shutters to the wooden floors and exposed stone walls. You'll love relaxing in the bright and airy living space as you plan your itinerary, perhaps over a glass of port. Speaking of the local drink, there are several port houses nearby where you can join a tour and sample some of the city's best vintages. You'll also want to take a walk down to the banks of the Duoro River – it only takes fifteen minutes to get there, and you'll stroll by Bolsa Palace and Porto Cathedral as you go. And, if you want even more fabulous views, simply hop on a boat trip to cruise down the water.

About Batalha

Directly south of Bolhão and its famous market, Batalha is an inner-city area that borders on the historic centres of Baixa and Ribeira. Like a lot of Porto’s centre, it was relatively run-down until around fifteen years ago, but has since undergone a cultural revival. There’s a wide range of nearby restaurants to try out, and some famous music and theatre venues. Some parts have a calmer, more residential vibe,...
