Vila Nova de Gaia was beautiful and everyone around very helpful. For traveling on my own can honestly say I've never felt as safe on my own as I did staying here.

4/5 - Good

There are loads of shopping centres, wineries and restaurants. Great views, and in summer there are public events (concerts,etc) at Jardim do Morro, worth a visit!
