A palace in the story of your holiday

To reach the city center, the Pestana Palácio do Freixo offers shuttles to the area of Ribeira. These shuttles are available three times a day, so you can plan your tours in the best way. If you're spending only a weekend here, make sure to visit Fundação Serralves and Casa da Música (Music House), the most prominent icons of the city's contemporary cultural diversity.

Back at the palace, you also find equally stimulating activities, although much more comfortable: the indoorpool, the Jacuzzi, the sauna and the Turkish bath are ideal to recover your energy after a long day of sightseeing. If the weather is good, be sure to take a dip in the amazing rooftop pool with a panoramic view of the river and watch the sunset on the deck chairs of the pontoon. If you look at the Palace, you can hear that the soft and golden tones of the Hall of Mirrors, where the family organized their parties, calling for you.
