Hints and tips from the owner:
" You can start your exploration of Porto in the surrounding areas: look for the collection of historical azulejos in the Public Library, contemplate the bold baroque façade of the orphanage of Esperança, stroll in the Gardens of the faculty of Fine Arts or in São Lázaro; the cathedral and the medieval walls are not far either (even the local MacDonalds in Aliados has great architecture!). If you are into jazz music, the "Tribeca" club is a must; if you are looking for iconic buildings, visit the café "Majestic" and the "Lello" book store, not far away rises one of Porto's most important landmarks: the Torre dos Clérigos. The local cuisine is great: gourmets will be more than pleased with the neighbouring "Abadia" (Ateneu Comercial Street), "Escondidinho" (Passos Manuel Street) and "Rogério do Redondo" (Praça da Alegria, just next door to the house). For families and individuals, the Churrascaria Amércia is a great option, with extremely good-value and genuinely typical choices (try Sarrabulho and Febras!). Ribeira and Clérigos, the two hotspots of Porto nightlife, are also within walking distance (15 min). To go to Ribeira you can also take the scenic funicular of Guindais. Within walking distance, also lie the way the famed port cellars (via the bridge to Gaia), the cathedral and the city walls and to the Casa do Infante, the house where Henry Navigator was born, and the nearby attractions.
