Six Bridges Cruise
Six Bridges Cruise
During the cruise of the six bridges, we'll sail along the Douro from the Dom Luis I Bridge and the Arrábida Bridge to the Freixo Bridge, located at the eastern end of Porto.
As well as the aforementioned, we'll cross the Infante Don Enrique Bridge (built in 2003), the Maria Pia Bridge (designed by Gustave Eiffel's partner Théophile Seyrig in 1873) and the Sao Joao Bridge (for trains only).
And more than just bridges, during the cruise you can also enjoy the best views of Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia, where the most famous wineries in Porto can be found. And of course, the cruise takes place on a traditional Rabelo boat, with which the barrels were transported from the vineyards of the valley to the Gaia wineries.
At the end of the 50-minute trip on the Douro, we'll return to the starting point.
