Oporto, Portugal's second largest city, is a city of red roofs and bridges linking the banks of River Douro. This is a quiet town, medieval-looking, and easy to navigate for tourists. Some say that Porto has a sensual and serene soul, but it is actually a living city from an economic and tourist point of view.
Oporto, or Porto, is reachable by the International Airport Dr. Francisco Sá Carneiro, located about ten kilometers north-west from the city centre. The city is well served by public transport, with bus and subway lines that connect all major tourist attractions.
The city is divided in two by River Douro: the old town is located on the north shore, where there are also the main station, the shopping streets and major monuments. Many of the best 4 and 5 star hotels of Porto are located in the Ribeira, the right bank of the river, enclosed between the Cais da Ribeira, the Torre dos Clericos and the Sao Bento train station, overlooking the Placa de Almeida Garrett.
Ribeira is the medieval area of the city, characterized by narrow streets that overlook the river and some of the most important bridges of the city, such as the Dom Luis. Very popular in the district of Ribeira are the Azulejos, blue ceramic tiles that dot the streets and buildings of the neighborhood.

Another area where there are cheap hotels in Porto is the Baixa, crossed by one of the main avenues of the city, Avenida dos Aliados. Many hotels rise near the Praça da Liberdade, in Rua das Flores (also famous for its jewelries) and Rua de São Filipe Néry. Another point of interest is certainly the Parque de Serralves, a city park with woods and gardens.
Porto's nightlife is among the liveliest of Portugal. The clubs, bars and restaurants are located along the streets bordering the river, on the left with the Gaia area, and on the right, in the Ribeira district.
