Luxury apartment a beautiful 5-10 minutes from all the action. We loved the view from our balcony of the Douro at night. The apartment in is Vila Nova de Gaia which I loved -- it allows you to look out over the river and the old town of Porto. Did I mention everything is on easy transit? Did I mention you don't need it at all? We walked across the bridge for the best view and loved feeling part of a neighbourhood quite close to everything but away from the crowds.
