You will have access to our blog and our online guide to make the most of your visit to our city without having to do a lot of research beforehand.
Included in the price are sheets and bath towels, kitchen utensils and cleaning at the end of the stay. Wireless Internet is also included. The cot has an additional price of €8 per night if required.
From the train station, a 1-minute walk away, you can easily and quickly visit the famous beaches of the Silver Coast: Cabedelo (3 km), Valadares, Madalena, Francelos (5 km), Miramar (6 km), Aguda (7 kms), Granja (8 kms), Espinho (9 kms), Aveiro (50 kms) and Figueira da Foz (100 kms), Nazaré and Peniche. From here you can also take the ALFA PENDULAR fast train to Lisbon, a journey of less than two and a half hours.
You can buy a low cost ANDANTE ticket for 3, 7 or 10 days, and during these days, come and go, wherever you want and by train or metro, at no additional cost. Here you can visit important and beautiful cities in the north of Portugal: Viana, Braga, Guimarães, Póvoa, Lamego, Régua, Côa, Viseu, Guarda, Aveiro, Coimbra and Fátima.
From the airport you can take the metro (line E - blue) to Trindade and change to line D (yellow) to Gaia. Then leave there and next to Gaia City Hall, continue along Rua Conselheiro Veloso da Cruz on foot to the building with number 90. There is free parking in the nearby streets, 80 meters from the building on Rua Alexandre Braga.
There is the "Devesas" bus stop 160 meters away on the way to the supermarket. Here you can take the 904 to Trindade (historic center of Porto). Another 430 meters away is the "Arco do Prado" bus stop (near the Pingo doce supermarket) where you can catch the 903 to "Casa da Música" in the center of Porto.
The location of “Oporto Cheers Gaia” has the advantage of being strategic for those who want to avoid traffic and noise from the city's well-known streets.
Below the accommodation, there is a small pizzeria (very good) which can be a useful resource for when you don't feel like cooking during your vacation, so you can eat there, or take the food back to the apartment. 80 meters away you will find a restaurant serving typical Portuguese food that we fully recommend.
Further down, 500 meters from the building, there is a “Pingo Doce” supermarket that sells all food and drinks as well as any other material you need in your daily life for your comfort and hygiene.
The wine is called “Port wine”, but all the Port wine cellars are in Gaia. And you'll be able to walk there because most of them are less than half a mile away.
If you bring a pet, please add it to the reservation because there is a fee for pets (and a maximum of one pet per booking)
Sometimes we will be at the "Oporto Cheers Gaia" apartment upon your arrival to welcome you and provide you with the keys to the apartment and all the information you need for a perfect stay, including good tips on what to visit. Sometimes, if you arrive late in the day or on some special days, you may have to do a self check-in. In this case, we will send you all access details to the building and apartment. During your stay you can always contact us via cell phone or WhatsApp.
