Itinerary
Porto is a truly captivating destination — a city where history, charm and culture blend seamlessly with a vibrant modern energy. And at the heart of it all flows the mighty Douro River. Nearly 3,000 years ago, Phoenician traders established a settlement at its mouth, laying the foundations for the remarkable city we know today.
Magnificent Six Bridges Cruise
To fully appreciate Porto, a river cruise is essential. The Six Bridges Cruise takes you along the Douro past the city’s famous port wine lodges and beneath its six legendary bridges.
Among them is the iconic Dom Luís I Bridge, instantly recognisable for its dramatic iron arch. The elegant Arrábida Bridge sweeps gracefully across the river, while the modern Infante Dom Henrique Bridge stretches nearly 400 metres and stands 75 metres above the water.
The historic Maria Pia Bridge, designed by Gustave Eiffel, has stood proudly for almost 150 years. Today, trains cross the Douro via the sleek São João Bridge. Completing the set is the expansive Freixo Bridge, the widest of them all.
Beyond the bridges, admire Porto’s colourful riverside architecture and historic port lodges — views that will stay with you long after your trip ends.
Hop-On Hop-Off Porto
Back on land, continue your exploration with a flexible hop-on hop-off bus tour featuring two carefully designed routes.
The red route showcases Porto’s historic centre, including the striking Torre dos Clérigos and the magnificent Igreja de São Francisco, before heading to the coast for sweeping ocean views from Castelo do Queijo.
The blue route crosses the Douro into Vila Nova de Gaia, the centre of the port wine industry. Don’t miss Jardim do Morro, where you can enjoy spectacular panoramic views back across Porto.
Night Tour
As the sun sets, see Porto transformed. The nighttime bus tour reveals illuminated landmarks and a magical evening atmosphere — especially enjoyable from the open-top deck on a cool evening.
Two Free Walking Tours & Port Tasting
Complete your Porto experience with two expert-led walking tours: one through the historic centre and another across the river in Vila Nova de Gaia, where you’ll learn about the region’s world-famous port wine heritage.
Your ticket also includes a complimentary port wine tasting — the perfect finishing touch. Book the ultimate Porto experience today and discover this extraordinary city from every angle.
