The Neighborhood: If you ask, all Portuenses say that the best of GAIA, is the view to PORTO, we don't know if it's true, but the main ATTRACTIONS of this city are at BEIRA-RIO. The apartment's LOCATION allows you to be close to the subway, which can take you directly to the center of PORTO, or if you prefer, you can walk while soaking up the views of the RIVER uniting the two once rival cities. To sharpen your CULTURE, be sure to visit the Monastery of SERRA DO PILAR and take a picture with a 360º view of PORTO and the RIVER. Since you are so close, an advice for RELAXING: take an afternoon to have a PIQUENIQUE while watching the sunset at the JARDIM DO MORRO, to the left of the top deck of LUIZ I POINT. Don't forget to experience a TOUR of the various PORT WINE CAVES in the city of Gaia.
