It was in the Porto and in the northern regions that Portugal was founded in the 12th century and the Portuguese became a people and a nation. Porto, a World Heritage city, is the gateway and departure point for a journey across the natural and cultural diversity of the region. It is known for the Port wine which is shipped from here all over the world, but also for a heritage that combines ancient churches and monuments, such as the Cathedral and the Church of São Francisco, and modern buildings, such as Casa da Música and the Serralves Museum. It is also known for its School of Architecture which bred names like Álvaro Siza Vieira and Eduardo Souto de Moura, both winners of the Pritzker Prize. From “francesinhas” to seafood and wine, Porto is the perfect place for a foodie. The options are limitless.
Located just south of Porto across the Douro river, Vila Nova de Gaia (simply know as 'Gaia' to locals), offers easy access to port cellars, gardens, and beautiful views. Rich history and culture make up why Gaia is such a special place. From the Stock Exchange Palace to the beautiful cathedrals there is so much history to take in. Take a ride on a cable car, walk the Dom Luis bridge, visit the hilltop park Jardim do Morro, or explore the many museums and beaches. For the adventurous, take a kayak or stand-up paddling tour or bike along the Douro. Enjoy all the sites of this fishing village or bird watch at a nature reserve. And don't miss a ride on the Gaia cable car at sunset to get a view of the Douro River and Porto!
Hilton Porto Gaia is a beautiful hotel, housed in a refurbished wine warehouse just a short walk to the Douro River and a 15-20 minute walk to the Porto city center.
