Porto in 2 days

The Chapel of Souls (Capela das Almas)

The Church of Saint Ildefonso

We stayed at the Solar Residencial S. Gabriel (address: 98 rue da Alegria – 4000 PORTO), €43 per night with breakfast included and free parking space.

The bedrooms are spacious with private bathroom, TV and free WiFi.

The only problem was the sound insulation. The single-glazed windows do not close properly. Therefore, if you happen to be sleeping on the road side, you will hear cars all night long.

The breakfast is simple. The products are not of the greatest quality, especially the orange juice that is orange just by the colour. There is however a great deal of choice: Coffee, milk, yoghurts, bread, croissants, butter, jam, fruit salad, cheese, ham.

  

There are several tourist offices downtown (in particular at the foot of the cathedral and close by the quays). On Sunday, in both Porto and Lisbon, museums are free.

1. The Portuguese Center of Photography
2. The Clérigos Church
3. The Church of Saint Francis
4. Sandeman Cellars
5. The Romantic Museum of Quinta da Macieirinha
6. The Crystal Palace gardens
7. The Port Wine Museum
8. The Quays
   
   
   H. The Hotel Solar Residencial S. Gabriel
   
   
    
   
   
   
   
   Note: If you walk by the McDonalds on Liberdade Square, go inside to admire the Art Deco interior.
