We took the 50 min tour of the harbor that basically takes under all the bridges. I think it 8 euros. Lovely day and worth the price.
It was easy to book any one of the boats, the tour up and down was well worth it. A different view of the city is lovely. €12.50 well spent, a relaxing morning after all the walking we did, visiting the many sites in the city.
This lovely 50 minute boat trip along the Douro River gave a different view of this city. Tall cliffs on each side of the river together with the many different types of bridges were a pleasant alternative to the usual bus tours.
The river and it's river sides are the places to see.Take a boat and cruse for an hour and see the river and the city from sea level. Both riversides look great at night.
Beautiful landscapes, amazing atmosphere... there is no need to say anything more! I highly recommend also going to see Douro in its other parts, not only in Porto!
Very nice boat trip! The Douro river valley is very scenic, the vineyards terraced into the mountains are phenomenal. I highly recommend a day cruise where you go along the river through locks to the wine area and take a train back.
We brought our lunches and ate on the boat cruising the river. Very pleasant way toview the river and eat lunch. They have a small drink shop on board and serve tea,coffee etc.
whether you only have a couple,of hours or a few days, take a trip on the river to enjoy the beauty of the city and its famous bridges. If you have a few days take a boat upriver to enjoy the beauty and peace of the countryside, and take the opportunity to visit a few port houses too!
By cruising down the Douro you can place yourself n the route where wines reached Europe for kings and regular people and the natural beauty of the waterway is only adorned by the towering city of Porto.
Take the opportunity on a sunny day to take one of the river tours advertised on the banks of Cais da Ribeira, it's definitely worth it. See the beautiful architecture of the city right from the centre of it all.
