Wander through Porto's historic center, where medieval alleys lead to unexpected viewpoints over the Douro River. The Bolhao Market buzzes with vendors selling everything from fresh fish to handmade soaps.

Mercure Porto Centro Santa Catarina

10/10 Excellent
"Check in very easy and checked me in early. Very centrally located in the historic district. Grocery store and many local dinners nearby. Staff very pleasant and helpful. Breakfast was very tasty and a wide selection of foods available. Clean room and a garden balcony on the 6th floor. This was a father and son trip from Chicago to visit the festival where everyone was playfully hitting each other with plastic hammers. I enjoyed this hotel and the people of Porto. Very safe area and I will stay again."
