Where to stay in Porto?

Greetings all,

My wife and I plan on staying in Porto for 7-10 days in May 2019 and wondering which area is a good area to stay.

We like staying in "Old Town" areas, and like to walk around and/or catch public transport to see the sites.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Russell.

Personally, I prefer staying in Gaia, across the river; that way I can have (in my opinion) the best view, which is looking AT Porto, rather than from it.

Here's my favorite: http://www.reisdegaia.net/index.en.htm
Ask for top floor, river view.
It is also mere steps away from the majority of the Port cellars, if that appeals to you.
One caveat, it is 5 floors and they still haven't finished the lift, so if that is an issue, I'd look elsewhere.

Check where the RS Portugal tour stays. Their choices are usually user-friendly.
