It is a beautiful neighborhood in Vila Nova de Gaia, near Arrábida Shopping. A giant mall with various shops, restaurants, and a supermarket. From here, you can visit the stunning Mosteiro da Serra do Pilar. The views from outside the monastery will take your breath away. Next door to the sanctuary is the palm-shaded Jardim do Morro. The gardens are a pleasant spot to take a seat and enjoy the views out over the river and Porto, which make this worth a visit, particularly at sunset when the river turns to gold.
If you go down the narrow and picturesque streets of Gaia, you'll reach the riverside, where it's possible to find the famous Port Wine Cellars. It's also a great spot to have dinner, enjoy a glass of port wine, and shop. An alternative to reach the riverside is to take the Teleferico de Gaia (Gaia's Cable Car).

Una buena opción
Agradable para una estancia corta en Porto, el apartamento tiene todo lo necesario, se puede aparcar con facilidad en la zona. Pero tendrían que cuidar un poquito más la ropa de cama porque tenía algunas manchas.
