Pestana Vintage Porto Hotel & World Heritage Site
The Pestana Vintage Porto occupies a row of restored historic houses on the Praça da Ribeira, in the very heart of Porto’s UNESCO World Heritage centre. Few hotels in the city have a more central or more atmospheric setting.
The hotel sits directly on the Douro riverfront, on the famous Ribeira square, with the Dom Luís I Bridge a short walk away. The buildings keep the character of the old Ribeira, and many rooms look out over the river and the port wine cellars of Vila Nova de Gaia on the opposite bank.
Being within the World Heritage area, the hotel places guests within walking distance of the main sights of central Porto — the riverside lanes, the churches, the Palácio da Bolsa and the climb up towards the cathedral. It is a strong choice for travellers who want to stay in the historic heart of the city, with the life of the Ribeira at the door.
