Guts-Heart: Mouzinho32 1st Floor Apt D
By far one of the nicest 1-BR Airbnb's we've stayed at. If you like contemporary architecture, lots of space, good natural light and an uncluttered apartment, this is the perfect spot for one or two people in Porto. Very central and touristy location, but the area is great to easily walk to restaurants, along the river or a metro ride across town. Comfortable bed in the back of the apartment, so it's a nice place to get a good night's sleep. The kitchen is fully equipped with nice tableware, a and a nice eating area. Hosts were easy to communicate with and very accommodating.

Unlock Secrets of DOURO in Magic Home - Wifi Airco
We absolutely loved our stay at Isabel's apartment in Porto! The location was perfect—right in the heart of Ribeira, just steps away from the Douro River, iconic bridges, and charming cafes. Waking up to the view of colorful houses and the river was unforgettable. The apartment itself was spotless, stylish, and cozy, with everything we needed for a comfortable stay—fast Wi-Fi, a well-equipped kitchen, and even some local treats waiting for us (thank you, Isabel!). The bed was super comfortable, and the shower had great water pressure (a big plus after long days of exploring). Isabel was the perfect host—responsive, friendly, and full of great recommendations. She gave us insider tips on the best pastel de nata spots, hidden miradouros (viewpoints), and even a fantastic fado bar that wasn’t touristy. If you’re visiting Porto and want an authentic, central, and delightful place to stay, don’t hesitate—book Isabel’s apartment! We’d return in a heartbeat. Thank you

Boutique Rentals- THE CLéRiGoS Apt w/ patio
Truly enjoyed my stay at Joana’s gem of an apartment. It totally matched the photos and description. Charming, quiet, super clean and centrally located - a great deal! Fun note: on my last night, I went to the 30 minute laser light show inside the Igreja dos Clerigos (the church) just up the hill. It was a nice way to end my stay when I didn’t have time or energy to do more. The bedroom is so cozy and the bed and bedding were comfy. Bonus for anyone who appreciates a dark and quiet place to sleep: the shudders can close and thus block out all morning light. Joana and her team (shout out to Sandra and Melissa) were very responsive and Valentim’s recommendations were an added bonus. The weather wasn’t quite warm enough for me to enjoy the lovely outdoor patio but I look forward to doing so another time. Definitely want to return to Porto and Joana’s charming place in the future!

Beautiful luxury Loft /Balcony - Clérigos w/ AC 4D
We’re so glad we booked here. The unit is absolutely beautiful! The building itself was unassuming, but once you walk through the entry way, you can see all the beautiful renovations. Our unit was even more beautiful than it was portrayed in its listing and photos. Stunning and yet, it had all the comforts of home plus a central location to great restaurants and historic sites. Finally, I want to credit the team for their fast responses to every question I had. They went above and beyond to make our trip an exceptional one. Kudos to Patricia, Robert and team!

Casas de SantAna - Old town amazing views
We had a great stay. Cláudia is a top-notch host - clear instructions, place is exactly as depicted and is in a great location in Porto. Her recommendations for restaurants and things to do were spot on. Clean, great space for 2 people. Highly recommend.

Your guide to Porto
All About Porto
Famous for its sweet wine namesake, the city of Porto is a patchwork of cobbled streets, ornate churches, and historic buildings decorated with distinct blue and white tiles called azulejos. The magnificent São Bento railway station is a fine example of one such building, with more than 20,000 tiles adorning its walls. The Douro River runs through the heart of this port in northwestern Portugal, and you can stop off at the fish restaurants, perfume and ceramic shops, and lively bars lining its banks. Alongside the riverbank, you’ll find the UNESCO World Heritage site historic neighborhood of Ribeira, known for its narrow winding streets and colorful tiled houses. For a bird’s-eye view of proceedings, you can take the climb up to the manicured Jardins do Palácio de Cristal, where babbling fountains frame the sweeping panorama.
Across the water in Vila Nova da Gaia, you can visit the city’s historic cellars, which are still used to store and mature port the traditional way. Porto is the birthplace of the famous fortified dessert wine, so you can expect to see it everywhere — and there are cellars all over the city where you can sample white, rosé, and ruby red varieties.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Porto
Portugal experiences a mild oceanic climate, which makes vacation rentals in Porto popular all year round. In summer, expect warm days and balmy nights for walks by the river and dining outdoors. Make sure you bring sunscreen and a hat, as it can get very hot in the middle of the day. June 23 marks Festa de São João do Porto, when the city celebrates its patron saint by eating, drinking, and dancing, topped off with fireworks over the river from midnight.
September and October are pleasant months to visit, with warm days, the changing colors of the trees in local parks, and fewer people. In September, Porto celebrates Port Wine Day with festivities across the city and plenty of opportunities to sample the famous drink. March through May is also an enjoyable time, when the weather is warm and the magnolia trees in the Jardins do Palácio de Cristal are in bloom. Temperatures cool down in winter, but you’ll still enjoy mostly mild and dry days.
Top things to do in Porto
Mercado de Bolhão
Less than 15 minutes from the centrally located Porto Cathedral, you can explore the largest, most historic indoor market in the city. Enter through original 19th-century wrought-iron gates to find hundreds of stalls selling fruit and vegetables, fresh fish, and local cheeses. You’ll often see buskers playing traditional music outside, and look out for street food stalls selling bacalhau com natas — a baked salt cod dish that’s a Porto favorite.
Teleférico de Gaia Cable Car
Board the Teleférico de Gaia cable car to soak up stunning views of the Douro River. You’ll ride high above the city to the top of the hill by Porto’s iconic Luis I Bridge, which was designed by the architect who created the Eiffel Tower.
Clerigos Tower
One of the city’s most recognizable landmarks, Porto’s Torres do Clérigos sits at the summit of the historic Clérigos Church. Once you’ve climbed the 230 steps to the top of the bell tower, you’ll be rewarded with magnificent panoramic views of the city and the meandering river. Time your visit around the hourly chimes to complete the experience.
