Enjoy a traditional “Douro River 6 Bridges Cruise Oporto” along the River Douro and follow in the footsteps of the old wine merchants that transported wine from the valley to the wine cellars.
Board the boat at Ribeira Quay and sail for 55 minutes along the river. Admire the beautiful landscapes and buildings of Ribeira and Vila Nova de Gaia from the water. Known as "Rabelo Boats," in reference to the old boats that transported wine from the Douro Valley, the cruise is the perfect chance to learn more about the historic bridges that connect Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia.
Learn more about their construction and curiosities, and upon arrival at the last bridge, see the Foz do Douro where the river pours into the ocean.
Cross the 6 bridges of the Douro River: Freixo bridge, S.João Bridge, D.Maria Pia Bridge, Infante Bridge, Luis I bridge and Arrabida bridge. The tour is 100% sightseeing without explanations.
