Renting a flat in Porto

Porto is a compact, hilly city on the Douro river with colourful old townhouses split into apartments. It is easy to explore on foot and by Metro, and prices are usually lower than in Lisbon.

Areas to look at

  • Ribeira: riverfront old town, busy with visitors
  • Cedofeita: galleries, cafés and local life
  • Boavista: modern, business-friendly and calmer
  • Vila Nova de Gaia: across the river, port cellars and views

Local rules

As in the rest of Portugal, short-term rentals need a local accommodation (Alojamento Local) registration number.
