Holiday Rentals in Gondomar - A Guide to Gondomar
Gondomar municipality is actually with the Porto metropolitan area, to the east of the city centre.
It is a pleasant, lively place but there are very few holiday rentals in Gondomar to be found. Much of the western boundary of the municipality is the river Duoro and any Gondomar holiday rentals overlooking the river will have some wonderful views across the water.
The town itself hosts art and music festivals and is quite an attraction for young people who tend to stay in youth hostels or with each other. The typical tourist from the UK is more likely to take a holiday rental in Porto and to visit Gondomar from there.

Types of Holiday Rentals in Gondomar
One of the most popular activities from a Porto holiday rental is to take a boat trip up the Duoro river and this may well take you past part of Gondomar, on your left as you travel upstream.
The further away from Porto you get, the more rural the scenery and the more likely you are to find a Gondomar holiday rental.
On the roads, most visitors will leave their Porto holiday rental and head either south on the A20 Auto Estrada do Norte or east on the A4, both of which skirt Gondomar, saving it from traffic problems but also meaning it is missed by the vast majority of tourists.
Gondomar Useful Information
There are a number of churches which are worth photographing and several views of the river especially at Foz do Sousa where the Sousa river meets the Duoro.
If you do manage to find a holiday rental in Gondomar, you will of course be attracted to the many wonderful sights in the city of Porto, but do make the time to explore the surrounding area as well, its well worth the trouble.
