B28 Apartments
B28 Apartments offers seven beautiful and spacious boutique apartments, tucked away on a lovely street in the historic centre of Porto.
B28 Apartments are set in an authentic 17th-century Porto bourgeois building which has been renovated with extreme care to bring back its original splendour.
The seven fully equipped apartments are flooded with light and are beautifully decorated. We love the minimalist decoration, intricate ornate ceilings and hardwood custom doors.
B28 is a great choice for couples and also families. The most spacious apartment is the Upper Deluxe Apartment 5, which has two bedrooms (one double, one twin), a bathroom and a living room - plus stunning views over the city and the river.
These are among some of the best serviced apartments in the centre of Porto, and we highly recommend them. Don’t miss our interview with Alida Jamal, the creative mind behind B28 Apartments.
Awesome
Your opportunity to experience the splendour of Porto’s 17th-century architecture.
Some of the apartments have killer views.
Daily cleaning is included in the price of your stay, and there’s an optional organic seasonal breakfast available.
Excellent restaurants and some of Porto’s most iconic sites are a stone’s throw away.
Bear in Mind
The apartments are spread over five floors, and there’s no lift.
To avoid street noise, go for the top-floor apartments, although the noise isn’t bad considering you are in the city centre.
Minimum two-night stay.
Q&A with Alida Jamal about B28 Apartments
B28 Apartments are located in the historic centre of Porto, a stone's throw away from the most iconic sites.
B28 Apartments are located in the historic street Rua de Belomonte, a stone’s throw away from Porto’s most iconic sites.
The small but mighty street Rua de Belmonte holds some hidden treasures, such as the Escovaria de Belomonte - this family shop specialising in artisan brushes is one of the oldest businesses in the city and perhaps in the Iberian Peninsula. The street houses some of the best examples of traditional 17th and 18th-century architecture of downtown Porto.
Right behind B28 Apartments you will find the charming steps of Escadas da Vitória, which lead you to a viewpoint with breathtaking views over some of Porto’s most famous buildings and the Douro River.
Some of our favourite restaurants, as well as some of Porto’s most iconic sites and the Douro River, are just a short walk away.
For post-dinner action, head to the nearby Rua da Galeria de Paris (900m), where bars and partygoers fill the streets until the early hours.

Nearby are two restaurants that we really like. Cantina 32 serves Portuguese classics, such as Bacalhau à Bráz (salted cod with fried potatoes and egg), as well as some creative dishes. Around the corner is also Mistu, one of Porto’s coolest restaurants. It serves tasty fusion cuisine with a Portuguese touch. The dulce de leche fondant is divine.
Salão Árabe in Palácio da Bolsa is a great hall in the neoclassical former stock exchange palace that is an exquisite sight to behold.
The river fronted neighbourhood of Ribeira is a must-do in Porto. Enjoy one of its many riverside bars and restaurants and take a 'Six Bridges Cruise' along the River Douro. Cross the Dom Luís bridge and go wine tasting at one of the Port lodges. From this side of the river, you have an awesome view of Ribeira.
Wander around the historic centre and be mesmerised by the glorious sights. Enjoy some of the best views of Porto at the viewpoint Miradouro da Vitória and from the top deck of the Dom Luís I Bridge.
Visit Serralves Museum, featuring a collection of Portuguese and international contemporary art, interesting sculptures and a delightful park. Its gardens are home to more than 8,000 specimens of exotic plants and an awesome Treetop Walk.
Grab a bicycle or go for a walk along the seafront in Foz do Douro, and then relax in Parque da Cidade (Porto’s city park).
Matosinhos is a key seaport and another go-to place for seafood lovers. The streets are packed with traditional restaurants. Salta-Ó-Muro and Marisqueira de Matosinhos are two of our favourites.
You are in Porto so you shouldn't leave without trying a francesinha. Porto's craziest food invention is like a sandwich similar to an elaborate Croque Monsieur. It’s filled with various meats, topped with melted cheese and the chef’s secret spicy sauce. Cufra, Café Santiago, Bufete Fase and Cervejaria Brasão are some of the best places in town to try it, with the latter offering one of the best vegetarian francesinhas in Porto.
