Região
Norte (English: North Region), is a region in the northern part
of Portugal. It is a land of dense vegetation and profound historic and
cultural wealth. Its capital is the city of Porto.
It
is one of five regions of Mainland Portugal (NUTS II subdivisions). The
Norte is a culturally varied region, thus historical rivalry between different
neighbouring cities and towns are very common, although with a strong common
Portuguese identity, but unlike other Portuguese regions where every city
and town are culturally very similar.

is a delightfully refurbished spacious apartment in a historical building
which has all of the usual modern conveniences, and yet externally retains
all of it's original classic and romantic character, in keeping with the
local area, within the ancient walled areas of Porto City. The apartment
is ideally situated in the old-town "Se", neighborhood of the city, within
the UNESCO World Heritage Classified Zone, i.e. the area comprising the
medieval borough located inside the 14th-century Romanesque wall. It is
thus in easy walking distance of all the main attractions in the conservation
zone, and yet it is off of the busier main streets, so is quieter at night.
