Destination Porto

My Story Apartments Santa Catarina are located on Santa Catarina Street, one of the main pedestrian streets in the city considered by many to be one of the largest open air traditional shopping centres in the Porto region, where you will also find a variety of cafes, restaurants and terraces to enjoy the vibrant and cheerful atmosphere of passers-by and street artists.

This street has several points of interest, but one of the most interesting spots is Cafe Majestic, elected as one of the most beautiful cafes in the world. It still exudes the ‘Belle Époque’ atmosphere to this day.

Being a quintessential commercial area, the best representative is the famous Bolhão Market, which so well represents the essence and authenticity of the old markets, where fruits, vegetables, meat, fish, flowers and many more high-quality products arrive daily, 100% Portuguese, a selection of some of the country’s best traditional foods.

It will be impossible to remain indifferent to the blue and white tile façade of the Corpo das Almas Church, in honour of the saint who gives the street its name: Saint Catarina de Alexandria.

To complete the tour, it is interesting to visit places like Clérigos Tower – one of the city’s ex-libris with more than 250 years of history -, the Porto Cathedral or the century-old Lello Bookshop. The visit to the city of Porto is not complete without a taste of the enigmatic Francesinha or a visit to the Port Wine Cellars where you can taste this nectar.

Thus, My Story Apartments Santa Catarina offers a privileged location in the second largest city in the country, considered the capital of the North. Close to the Bolhão Market metro station, it allows access to the main points of interest in the city. In addition, São Bento Station is also nearby, portraying history through its tile panels and allowing access to other cities, such as Braga or Guimarães.
