Practical information > Accomodation

The main tourist booking sites will be able to help you find an accommodation according to your budget. If you book early, you will have a better chance of finding accommodation at a good price, especially in summer.

Below are some suggestions of hotels that are closest to FLUP (all within 10-15 minutes walking distance). There are of course other options outside of this area. The bus service in the city is well organized (but you should expect regular traffic jams...).

Hotels within a 10-15 minute walk of FLUP

(FLUP address: Faculdade de Letras da Universidade do Porto, Via Panorâmica, 4150-564 PORTO, Portugal)

            Rua Arquiteto Marques da Silva, 200

            4150-483 PORTO

Not to be mistaken with the Hotel Ipanema Park, belonging to the same chain and in the same street, but much further from the Faculty - unless you want to settle in a very busy 5 stars... (https://hf-ipanema-park-hotel-porto.hotel-ds.com)

HOTEL DOURO (***)

            Rua da Meditação, 71

            4150-487 PORTO 

In the neighborhood (in fact, even next door) of one of the most famous romantic cemeteries of Porto (Cemitério de Agramonte) - hence the name of the street, Street of the Meditation, a street of funeral services (wreaths, waxes and marble makers...). The hotel has a small adjacent commercial gallery ("Península") for small purchases or quiet moments.

 HOTEL VICE-REI (***)

            https://www.hotelvicerei.com/pt/apresentacao

A small, recently renovated hotel from the 1970s, a short distance from the Rotunda da Boavista and the Casa da Música, in a commercial building from the 1950s where you will find, on the first floor, one of the most famous "pastelarias" (pastry shops) in the city, Petúlia (https://www.petulia.pt/), where, according to legend, the fine ladies of Boavista would order tea in order to be served white wine.

            4050-621 PORTO   

 Hotel belonging to the Catholic Church - it is a former seminary, in the same building where the Faculty of Letters was installed at the beginning of the 20th century.
