Destination
Porto, the INVICTA (unvanquished) city
Built on the banks of the Douro River, the historic route of the famous wine, extending to the Atlantic coast, Porto combines a cosmopolitan soul with charming historical and cultural heritage.
There are countless reasons why visitors are attracted to this city. However, we want to share our selection of experiences which we believe perfectly translate the authenticity of this destination, using our hotel as a starting point.
Gastronomic Getaway
Portobello Rooftop Bar We suggest a short walk to Praça dos Poveiros and the surrounding streets, where you can taste the idiomatically named francesinha (“little French girl”- emblematic sandwich from Porto), roasted pork sandwiches or the popular hot dogs, or still, dishes prepared by chefs of greater reputation. We invite you to delve deeper into the world of flavours this city has to offer, with a tasting of the wines from this region, which are rich in diversity, inside the traditional cellars or in our Portobello Rooftop Bar, with stunning views of the city.
Praça da Batalha (Square)
Shopping & Leisure In Praça da Batalha, embark on a journey through time on the emblematic Tram No. 22 and let yourself be guided through history. When passing through Rua de Santa Catarina and its intersecting streets, visit the historical local shops, the Café Majestic, the Mercado do Bolhão (market) and the Capela das Almas (Chapel of Souls). Resuming the trip, catch a glimpse of the main points of interest in the city, including the Torre dos Clérigos (Tower), Praça dos Aliados (Square), the Estação de São Bento (Train Station) and the Rua das Flores. Alternatively, you can go to the Catedral da Sé do Porto (Cathedral), passing through the upper deck of the Dom Luís Bridge and the Muralhas Fernandinas (city walls) and continue the journey via the Funicular or Escadaria dos Guindais (Stairs) which transport you to the Ribeira (riverside) area.
