Searching for best Euro 150 - 300 mid - ? range hotel for one pre and one post night for our Douro River Cruise; Oct. 5 - 12, 2025. Walking couple 69 & 73, we usually do well in City Centers where we can walk to restaurants, etc. Is it best to choose hotels with breakfast? We plan to UBER from Airport and to Cruise port, which looks about 6 mi. away. Also, what are best sites to see/experience with our limited time of one afternoon, evening & morning before; and one full day after the cruise? TIA and Happy Travels! C & S
We loved this B & B in Porto, very close to the cathedral, Sao Bento Train station, and a busy pedestrian street with restaurants and a lot of activity. Reasonably priced and wonderful included breakfast. Kind and helpful hosts. https://www.natravessa.com/
We used the Rick Steves guidebook for our sightseeing. We did the walk and visited many churches, including the cathedral. We also crossed the river to the port houses, though we didn't visit any since we had just been on the Douro River.
Thanks Jules m! Sounds great ! I will check it out.
