#Porto #Portugal #bridge #ponte

A ponte de D. Luiz I foi construída, no final do século XIX, sobre o rio Douro, ligando a cidade do Porto a Vila Nova de Gaia. A ponte tem dois tabuleiros. No superior circula uma linha de Metro do Porto e no inferior circulam viaturas e pedestres. Vale a pena atravessá-la a pé tanto pelo tabuleiro superior como pelo inferior. Vista magnífica sobretudo no final do dia.

The D. Luiz I bridge was built at the end of the 19th century over the Douro river, linking the city of Porto with Vila Nova de Gaia. The bridge is double-deck metal arch bridge. In the upper one runs a line of Metro do Porto and in the lower circulate vehicles and pedestrians. It is worth walking across both the top and bottom decks. Magnificent view especially at the end of the day.

"적당히 깨끗하고 인셉션 직원 친절하고 전반적으로 나쁘지 않았습니다. 근데 계단이 좀 빡세요. 다른 호스텔 4층보다 여기 3층이 더 오르기 힘든 것 같은 건 기분탓인지..? 아 그리고 한 층에 방이 두개뿐인데, 방 안이랑 방 밖에 화장실(+샤워)이 있어서 매우 좋았음. 화장실도 깨끗한 편. 드라이기도 있고. 근데 조식은 좀 별로였음. 그 돈으로 나가서 사먹는 게 나을 듯합니다"

"Great breakfast buffet, great seating area with lots of couches, very safe and staff was always at the front desk. The beds were comfortable and the hostel with very clean. Bathrooms were large and clean although I didn’t have a single hot shower, I was told the water will heat up after 10 minutes of running it although that felt quite wasteful! The staircases and floors in this place were incredibly beautiful. The look of the place was as great as the beds were comfy! No early check in,...

Hilton Porto Gaia

10/10 Excellent

"Clean nice room. They accommodated me with an upgrade for my birthday due to some unforeseen circumstances. Staff was great nice and over accommodating. I loved my stay. "

Porto River Soul Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel location is in a convenient, scenic location, which is perfect for exploring Porto and the wider Gaia area. Facilities are excellent with a good varied breakfast and thoroughly clean room. I arrived in Porto following a 3 night stay in Lisbon, during which I was unfortunately pickpocketed, resulting in theft of my phone. The staff at Porto River Soul Hotel were excellent in understanding my situation after I explained and they provided me with telephone facilities for any calls I required to make. Overall they made a difficult trip slightly easier and also provided me with recommendations on things to do in Porto. It's a shame I couldn't enjoy this trip so much due to circumstances which couldn't be helped but the staff at this hotel deserve a lot of praise for how they treated me. I would definitely recommend staying here, for the wider facilities of the hotel, it's location and value for money, as well as the friendly service which is provided to the guests. "
