Amarante accommodation from AU$145

Those with an interest in remarkable engineering and historic structures should make time to visit Ponte de Sao Goncalo. If you're thinking about staying close by, look into Aldeia do Tâmega. It's the only available option here, so make sure you book in advance.

For more options, try the Six Senses Douro Valley and the Hotel Rural Quinta Da Cruz. They are 25 kilometres and 8 kilometres respectively from the main center. Wotif also suggests the Casa de Juste Country House and the Pousada Mosteiro de Guimarães - Monument Hotel. The first is 12 kilometres away from the center, while the other is 25 kilometres away.

The nearby cities of Canadelo and Felgueiras are definitely worth seeing. Canadelo is 11 kilometres to the northeast of Amarante, while Felgueiras is 14 kilometres to the northwest. Canadelo hotels and apartments are the Casa da Nogueira and Quinta Das Escomoeiras. Felgueiras choices include the Paço de Pombeiro-Turismo de Habitação and Stone Farm Hostel.

If sport rocks your world, go to Municipal Stadium Cinfaes. It's to the south of Amarante. Those wishing to sleep close by can take their choice from the Hotel Porto Antigo and the Quinta da Ventuzela.

Visitors planning on arriving or departing through Dr. Francisco de Sa Carneiro Airport might like to book some accommodation at the Holiday Inn Express Porto - Exponor or the Park Hotel Porto Aeroporto, both of which are a short taxi ride away.
