Beautiful warm sunset from Porto in Portugal overlooking the old town harbour with the view over the Douro river.
This tower is in fact the bell tower of the Clérigos Church and once was the highest building in Portugal. The panoramic view from upthere is the most complete from Porto and well worth the 230+ steps’ climb. Looking south you can see the Douro and the messy display of dark-orange rooftops on Miragaia and Massarelos rooftops. More about Porto on: http://www.geekyexplorer.com/porto-with-heart-and-soul/
'River: Duoro Completed: 1886 Trivia: The bridge is often confused with the nearby Maria Pia Bridge. The latter has only one deck.' #waterlust #BestOf5

9.8/10 Exceptional! (144 reviews)
Perfect Stay in the Heart of Porto! I had a fantastic stay at this apartment and cannot recommend it enough. Here are a few reasons why this is the perfect base for your trip: Unbeatable Location: You are right in the center of everything! It is directly across from the iconic Bolhão Market and surrounded by several grocery stores, making it incredibly easy to grab fresh food or supplies. Ultimate Convenience: The Bolhão Metro station entrance is literally just outside the main door. This made my trip to and from the airport completely stress-free. Spotless Interiors: Whoever is cleaning these apartments deserves a medal! It was exceptionally clean and well-maintained. Great Amenities: The kitchenette is fully stocked with all the cooking essentials you might need, and having a Nespresso machine for a quick morning coffee was a wonderful touch. Proactive Service: The reception desk is very attentive and constantly checks in to ensure you have everything you need. Don’t be surprised when you receive a WhatsApp message before and during your stay—they are just being helpful! Overall, a 10/10 experience.

The room was very nice. I was on the top floor, the 4th, and was not able to see the street because of a facade in front of the windows. But, there was good light with a rooftop and sky view. Staff is pleasant and very helpful. The bed was comfortable and the location was very good for getting to lots of attractions.
