Central crash pad in charming Porto

Exploring Porto will be a breeze if you stay at Mercure Porto Centro Aliados. Metros, trams, trains, and buses all leave off from stops and stations within five minutes’ walk, so you really couldn’t ask for a better-connected base.

And you needn’t even rely on the public transport if you don’t want to. There are plenty of iconic sights within walking distance – with the added bonus of seeing more of the city as you stroll to your next stop. Clerigos Church and Tower and Porto Cathedral are both within a 10-minute walk of the hotel. Make your way towards the latter, and you’ll be within shouting distance of the Luis I Bridge, and the waterfront, too.
