Boavista and Lapa
Let's move away from the center a little to head towards the Boavista and Lapa districts. Hotels like Three Houses and Bedrooms combine economy and comfort. These neighborhoods have the advantage of being close to the shows of the House of Music, from the rotunda of the Boavista Garden, of the market Good success which does not close until XNUMX p.m. and the gilded church of Lapa. These districts are certainly a little out of the way, but the tram takes you to the center of Porto and the reflection of the city in the Douro is not far away!

Miragaia and Massarelos
Come to the neighborhoods of Miragaia and Massarelos! The enigmatic mazes of the Jewish quarter will lead you to symbolic inscriptions, sibylline marks, dreamlike sculptures on the sides of the buildings. You risk getting a little lost in this labyrinth of deciphering! What does it matter! You will never be at the end of new encounters like those of the Romantic Museum, the National Museum, crystal palace gardens, hidden cafes. Your gaze will recognize its path between the works of art, the trees with large foliage, the multicolored cocktails... This district may be a very good choice where to sleep in Porto.

East district: Bonfim
See you in the East, in Bonfim! Before your overnight stay, you can enjoy the festive atmosphere of the streets of Aliados and Bolhao. The scents of spices, the animations of the terraces and bars will project you into a Brazilian atmosphere. After consuming an opulent plate of fresh fish, you will go to bed satisfied. On the other hand, if you want to spend a quiet night, this very lively area is not recommended.

On the other side of the Douro: Vila Nova de Gaia
We present to you Vila Nova de Gaia whose Jardim do Morro will keep its gates open for you until dawn. A cable car will take you up the hill where you can gaze at both the stars and the lamps from the quays. Your perspective of the city will be fresh. Likewise, the atmosphere of the Monastery of Serra do Pilar, dating back to the seventeenth century, will wrap you in its peace. Only drawback of the neighborhood: it is out of the way. To reach the center of Porto, you will need to take metro line D.
