It’s a good location near the metro in Caterina street although ironically we got lost as google map led us a few minutes away . Luckily Tiago came to rescue us . There are no obvious signs for Caterina although after a while it’s obvious. On the first night we went to Saboriccia . This is a short walk away from the flat in Caterina and has music plus great hospitality and Portuguese wine and a cheese plate . Recommended .
The flat itself is cosy and beautiful inside . The location virtually in the middle of Porto is the big plus . Everything is working in the flat . Also useful is a washing machine and dishwasher. There is some construction noise but it didn’t worry us too much as we came to see Porto .
We walked to the main attractions such as the churches and town hall plus railway station Bento ( the railway station is an attraction here ) plus even Mcdonalds ( this also is an attraction and you find out when you go inside ) .
The Cathedral is within walking distance plus the bridge which is the main attraction in Porto leading to Gaia over the Douro river . And the port tasting - we tried Taylor’s . One of the best but there are several .
If you can’t get breakfast in time from supermarket ( it closes at 9 pm and not open Sunday ) then there is a breakfast place opposite the flat 18 euros for 2 - it’s ok for one day . Also there is a late opening supermarket near Porto football stadium where prices are much cheaper and that’s open till midnight and inside the shopping centre called Almeida.
All in all a great weekend in Porto .
