Porto hotels
Porto has more than its fair share of decent hotels: They are certainly the most interesting outside of Lisbon, and they're a tad more affordable, to boot. In addition to a handful of boutique properties, brand-name hotels, and family-run guest houses, recent arrivals on Porto's lodging scene include a design hotel as well as a wine-themed hideaway in the Vila Nova de Gaia district across the Douro River—which means it's no longer just the hotels on the Ribeira waterfront that offer the city's best views. In Porto proper, most attractions sit within easy walking distance, so bed down anywhere in the city center or along the Ribeira waterfront.
