This residential accommodation is nestled in the very heart of Porto, 3.2 km from the all - seater Estadio do Dragao Football Stadium and 1.4 km from the lavishly designed historic Livraria Lello Book Store. Boavista with high-end shops, trendy cafes and unpretentious eateries serving Porto's classic francesinha, a meat sandwich with melted cheese and tomato sauce, where the Boavista Guest House Porto sits, grants access to cultural attractions like Soares dos Reis National Museum, which is 1.2 km away.
