Hostel Details

A 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.
