The Hotel Alves (Travessa de Torneiros, 9) or the Melia Braga Hotel & Spa (Av. General Carrilho da Silva Pinto, 8) will suit those wanderers searching for first-class service and luxuriously soft sheets. If you're the sort of wanderer who prefers to spend all their time out and about, a deluxe suite may not be to your taste. Some terrific budget accommodations to consider are the Bragatruthotel (Rua de Sao Marcos 80) and the Hotel Dom Vilas (Rua Conselheiro Lobato, 434).
