How to get there
Dear Guest,If you are arriving from Oporto Airport, the best way is to take a taxi, it takes aproximatly 20mins and it costs around 25 euros. The second option is the metro, take the only one ther is at the airport, leave at TRINDADE metro station and take the one that says SANTO OVÍDIO, leave at São Bento and you will be at 300 meters from the apartment.If you arrive by train, leave at São Bento train Station witch is very close to the apartment.If you decide to take the car, please note that sometimes the GPS systems, get a bit confused with all the small streets in this ancient part of the city. In that case, just give me a call and I will be available to guide you or to meet you next to the Cathedral.
NO PARKING AVAILABLE.

Getting around
All the main activities in the city took place here. Some streets still maintain in their names a sort of echo of those times: the Merchants Street, Bainharia Street (where sword scabbards where made), among other examples. In the 13th century the city has grown, the old walls were overturned and the population occupied areas along the river, like the Ribeira. The Fado (traditional portuguese music) houses, like the famous Casa da Mariquinhas, are also in Bairro da Sé. Some typical taverns, with traditional snacks and drinks, can be found there too.
