We stayed in 2 of Pedro's My River Place properties, at the start and end of our Portugal tour, and they were both perfect for a short visit to beautiful Porto. Great views of the iconic bridge and waterfront. A 5 minute stroll takes you down to the lower deck of the bridge with bars and cafes on both sides. We hired bikes (cheap but basic) and cycled to the sea, via the many grilled-fish restaurants at R. da Praia. A 10 minute walk up the hill leads to the metro and supermarket (open 8am til 9am) then 10 mins over the bridge to Sao Bento station, from where we took a train to lovely Guimaraes. Good pizza from Italian place, opposite the supermarket. Serralves Art museum is also well worth the short bus ride. All good.
