River walk along the Douro

Boat trips on the Douro River, Douro River Cruises, 6 Bridges Cruise, Douro River Boat Trip, Douro Mini Cruise
Portugal, Porto
To get to know Porto's main river, the Douro, and its magnificent surrounding landscapes, it is best to make a river trip by ship or motor ship. There are various options for such trips: short mini-cruises, one-day cruises and cruises for several days to the Alto Douro wine region relatively remote from Porto.
The most popular mini-trip on the Douro is called the Six Bridges of Porto. During this walk, you can admire the architecture of several bridges connecting Porto with its satellite city of Vila Nova de Gaia, as well as see the beautiful silhouettes of houses and churches located on both banks of the river. Typically, these mini-cruises last about an hour and are carried up and down the Douro River on small boats with open and closed decks.

The Douro River gives a unique charm to the city of Porto. This is especially felt in the coastal and oldest part of the city - Ribeira. Every day, many pleasure boats and ships sail up and down the Douro River from the pier located in this quarter. The most popular route is called "Six Bridges of Porto", during which you can see in detail the features and design of the six city bridges, as well as admire the surrounding beauty. In Porto on the Douro River there are several bridges and each of them is beautiful and original in its own way.
