One of the most important aspects of planning a tr One of the most important aspects of planning a trip to Porto is figuring out where to stay 🇵🇹

During our four nights in Porto, we stayed at @moovapartments Boavista - a new apartment concept located along one of the main streets in the city (10 minutes from the old town and 20 minutes from the airport) ✈️

All of their apartments are designed to be modern and minimalist, with plenty of space throughout. They’re perfect for both short and long stays thanks to the kitchen/dining room that lets you prepare your meals as if you were at home (and you save money too) and a very large, comfortable bed 🛌

Our apartment even had a balcony overlooking the street below, as well as bathroom amentities. Guests have the option of booking a breakfast box for convenience, which I’d recommend doing if you have a busy schedule 🥐

On top of this, Moov Apartments Boavista offer private parking, a secure check-in system, a rooftop terrace next to a comfortable work space, and they have a strong focus on sustainable practices 🍃

Do you like to stay in apartments if you’re travelling for more than a couple of days? 🤔

No trip to Switzerland is complete without visitin No trip to Switzerland is complete without visiting at least one mountain 🗻

We took a day trip to Mount Titlis in Engelberg, which has a lot of unique things to do at the top other than skiing 🎿

Even if you visit outside of winter, make sure you come better prepared than we did 😅

Have you been up any Swiss mountains before? 🇨🇭
