We’ll admit that Baixa doesn’t have the postcard shot that Ribeira does. Instead, it offers a sleeker style of street aesthetic and architecture, with plenty of open squares and wide thoroughfares. Baixa definitely provides a different experience, but for anyone wanting that downtown vibe, it is the perfect choice when choosing where to stay in Porto. You can often bag slightly cheaper prices, too – a win-win.

Baixa is perfect for exploring a more extensive side of Porto. You’ll wander through stunning squares that symbolize essential times in the city’s history. And you’ll be able to nip into independent bookshops and cafes that have retained a ‘local’ feel – not just being washed with over-tourism.

Ribeira is authentic in a busy way. The neighborhood has the most ‘wow factor’ regarding Praca da Ribeira and its colored houses. The word Ribeira also derives from the word river in Portuguese – so it is quite literally named after the river, which splits Porto directly into two. You can enjoy traditional Portuguese dishes on lovely terraces overlooking the water at night. By day, you have hundreds of attractions at your fingertips.

Ribeira is where to stay in Porto if it is your first time in the city and you want the whole experience. This neighborhood sits right along the banks of the Douro River and it is extremely central. You can weave your way in and out of narrow cobbled streets of the historic centre while enjoying river views and the smell of traditional Portuguese cuisine.

Whenever we start looking for accommodation in a new city we go through the same process; Decide on our budget, choose a neighborhood, and then a hotel, guesthouse, or apartment rental within our chosen neighborhood and that is near what we want to do.
