There are a lot of things to see and do in Porto! 😎 If you’re short on time and want to see a big portion of the main attractions in under 2 hours, I’d recommend joining an open-top bus tour with @citysightseeingworldwide 🎟️ The red line will take you through the old town, along the coast, past some hidden gems, and finish with a drive near the famous Ribeira District 🚌 Have you been on a bus tour in Porto before? 🇵🇹 • • • • • • • • • • #citysightseeing #porto #visitporto #kristatheexplorer #portoportugal
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? 🤔 • • • • • • • • • • #moovapartments #visitporto #kristatheexplorer #portugaltrip #portoportugal
