The Baixa, around the Aliados, Rua das Flores and Sao Bento station, is the walkable centre for the Ribeira and the Clerigos tower; the Gaia bank opposite trades convenience for the best views of the old city and immediate access to the port cellars; Foz do Douro, where the river meets the Atlantic, is residential and breezy.
May, June and September are the most settled and the busiest, and the September grape harvest in the Douro Valley draws visitors upriver; winter is wet and grey, while August fills with the Sao Joao aftermath and Atlantic beach traffic.
