Id advise one good meal a day - although it's not particularly cheap, the Mall has a few places that do good portions of good food for a reasonable price. Its right next to the train station. |

Wandering around town is the best thing to do. Try a cafe at praza republica and then wander the main streets down to the wide boulevard that runs along the ocean. I was there the week before the big festival at the end of august and it was amazing. |

| HI Hostel Viana do Castelo - Navio Gil EannesA floating Youth Hostel? That's right. The Gil Eannes ship anchored at the old sea dock in Viana do Castelo has recently been turned into a magnificent Youth Hostel. This ship was one of the city's landmarks for many years, when it was used as a hospital for cod-fishermen. It now has 55 beds and a common room. Viana do Castelo is not just about the river, or the sea. There are plenty of monuments to see, lots of shops, gardens and of course good local wine (vinho verde) and splendid food. Try the Gil Eannes cod dish and the mouth-watering romaria (procession) sweets. | more...... |
