Fantastic view of the Douro, the riverboats, and Porto from the Gaia riverfront. About a 10 minute walk on the boardwalk from Gaia’s river plaza, maybe 20 minutes crossing the Ponte Luis I into Porto. Quiet, secure, comfortable, easily accessible from either city... and that view! We sat up late at night drinking port and watching the sights of Porto, and woke each morning to lay in bed for awhile and watch the riverboats pass by.
Pure magic, highly recommended.
