Charming apartment in the heart of Porto
Upon our arrival, we were met by the lovely Sonia and shown to the apartment. It is very secure and in a wonderful part of the city. The first day we easily walked to Clerigos Clock tower and climbed 240 steps to the top where we enjoyed panoramic views of the city. Next, we walked a few minutes from there to Lavaria Lello (Harry Potter bookstore). We continued walking around enjoying the amazing churches, shopping and food. After visiting many of the famous places we wanted to see, we took a stroll in the Ribeira Distrcit along the water where the scenery is second to none. After a glass of wine, we crossed the foot bridge to visit the famous Port houses (Kopke was our favorite - ask for Bruno). After sampling some of the finest port in the world we took the lift to the top of the city where we enjoyed an amazing sunset. That was just day one.
Carla's place provided a comfortable, clean, safe and centrally located apartment that I would highly recommend.
