Porto Walking Tour, Helicopter Ride & River Cruise
Description
At the indicated time, we'll meet in front of the Portuguese Centre of Photography to start the first part of our experience: a walking tour of Porto's historic centre.
As we walk, we'll visit emblematic places such as São Bento railway station and the bustling Bolhão market. We'll also walk past Clérigos Church, admire Porto Cathedral and explore the picturesque Riberia district, where we'll learn about its great heritage.
Then, we'll make our way to a heliport on the banks of the Douro River. From this helipad, we'll take off for an exciting helicopter ride over Porto. During the flight, which will last approximately 6 minutes, you'll have a bird's eye view of the Arrábida and Don Luis I bridges. You'll also enjoy a unique perspective of the old town of Porto.
We'll conclude the helicopter ride by landing at the same place where we took off. Taking advantage of the fact that this point is located on the banks of the river, we'll then take a boat trip on the Douro. For approximately 50 minutes, we'll sail aboard a rabelo, a traditional wooden boat.
From this typical boat, you'll see the Don Luis I Bridge from below. We'll also pass under the arches of other important footbridges that cross the Douro River, such as the Infante Don Enrique Bridge, where you'll be able to take some spectacular photos!
Finally, we'll conclude the boat trip on the Douro by docking at the same pier where we'll say goodbye after having visited Porto by land, sea and air in just 5 hours.
