Where the river finally meets the Atlantic — a smart seaside quarter of promenades, lighthouses and beach bars, reached by a lovely tram ride along the water. Calm, breezy and residential; a lovely base if you want the sea over the city buzz.

On your doorstep
What you’re living next to if you stay here.
- 13.Foz do Douro & the coast — Take the old wooden tram or walk the riverside out to where the Douro meets the Atlantic — lighthouses, a fort, rock pools and a string of breezy beach bars. The city's exhale: sea air, sunset over the ocean, a cold beer on the sand.
- 14.Serralves museum & gardens — The country's leading contemporary-art museum, a crisp modernist building set in vast gardens with a pink Art Deco villa — as much about the grounds and the treetop walk as the art. A green, calm half-day out towards Foz.
