What to do in Vila Nova de Gaia?
During your stay in Vila Nova de Gaia, an afternoon at the beach will appeal. Between Praia de Lavadores, which is located right near our hotel, Praia de Miramar, and Praia da Madalena, you’re sure to find a little spot of paradise where you can settle on a beach towel. To take in plenty of fresh air stepping out of our hotel close to Douro, you’ll head towards the local natural reserve of the Douro estuary and its lovely Cabedelo beach. Going in the upriver direction to the East, you’ll get back to Cais de Gaia, famed for its Port wine cellars. These unmissable wharfs in Villa Nova de Gaia are also the point of departure for the Gaia cable car, offering an unbeatable view of Porto. After arriving at Jardim do Morro (the end of the line), you’ll be just a short walk from the Serra do Pilar monastery.
The best excursions to go on in the Douro valley, departing from Vila Nova de Gaia
During your visit to the Porto region, you’ll be able to discover some of north Portugal’s most beautiful natural sites. Departing from our hotel at Vila Nova de Gaia, you’ll be within reach of the Douro valley by boat, bus, car, or train. On the way, you’ll pass through landscapes featuring UNESCO-listed terraced vineyards. This will be your opportunity to explore cities teeming with History, such as Vila Real, Pinhão and Peso da Régua. You’ll stop at a “quinta” (winery) for a tasting of Port and Douro wines. When back in Vila Nova de Gaia, you can gain further knowledge of the gourmet heritage of Região do Norte at our Golden Tulip restaurant. This is a perfect eatery in which to appreciate the gourmet traditions of the « Cidade Invicta », while delighting in views of the Atlantic Ocean.
