The Rabelo boat is a tradition in Portugal. Native from the Douro region, it does not exist in any other place of the world. Its history is linked to the production and trade of port wine.

The amazing city of Porto, also known as Oporto in English, is located along the Douro river estuary in the North of Portugal and is the second-largest city of the country. Declared as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1996, planning a visit to the historic center of Oporto is the best way to know its origins.

"The best hostel I have ever stayed, will definitely come back again "

YOUROPO - Ribeira Gaia

10/10 Excellent

"Fabulous apartment in the heart of Porto. Brilliant views across the Douro on the busy, buzzy Nova Gaia (near all the Port warehouses) Great communication from the Your Opo team, from a transfer from the airport (seamless), check in and apartment details, bag drop at the apartment. Stunning interior and well appointed compact (not small) accommodation. Lovely spacious shower and loads of hot water. If you're looking for a cosy upscale place in the centre of Porto - this is it. Highly recommended."

Smartr Porto Gaia & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"This is the second time I have stayed in this property, the first time was back in June with my kids, and this time was November with my boyfriend. It was an excellent day both times. The owner of the property recognize me and she was so kind and treated us so good. The location is convenient, it’s close to the river where all the restaurants and music is happening. Everything is within walking distance. "
