In which district to stay when visiting Porto?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Ribeira<\/a> district<\/strong>, in the historic center, is without a doubt the most popular area for visitors coming to Porto. Located on the banks of the Douro River, it is a lively neighborhood gathering countless bars, restaurants, stores and tourist attractions.
That’s also where most of Porto’s tourist accommodations are located, from luxury hotels to youth hostels.

Vila Nova de Gaia<\/strong> is a municipality located on the south bank of the Douro River, opposite the Ribeira district, just across the Dom Luis Bridge. Vila Nova de Gaia is known for its many wine cellars<\/a>, but also for the breathtaking view it offers over Porto. If you prefer to be a little removed from the bustle of the city’s bars while remaining close to the tourist attractions, then Captain Ulysses warmly recommends staying on this side of the Douro.
