Local guide
About Lordelo do Ouro
Lordelo do Ouro is a quiet, family-friendly area in between the seaside Foz do Douro and the inner western suburbs. You’re unlikely to really feel the presence of tourism here. At commuting distance from the city, it has a spread-out, suburban feel, though it’s also popular with younger crowds thanks to its relatively low rent. There’s a range of public transport options which make it well connected to the centre....
