Vila Nova de Gaia Free Tour
Description
At the scheduled time, we'll meet under the Vímara Peres statue. From this point in the centre of Porto, we'll walk towards the Don Luis I Bridge to cross over to the other side of the Duero River, where we'll begin an interesting free tour of Vila Nova de Gaia. This riverbank town will leave you stunned!
After arriving at this picturesque location, we'll stop off in front of the Serra do Pilar Monastery. After learning about its history, we'll make our way to Jardim do Morro to see one of the most beautiful views of Porto. This park has an amazing viewpoint overlooking the banks of the Duero River.
We'll continue the tour discovering the wine-producing history of Vila Nova de Gaia, whose tradition has transcended generations. The following stop will take place at the Santa Marina Parish Church. Next to this church, we'll also see the Beira-Rio Market and the Gaia cable cart station.
Next, we'll see the popular urban mural titled Half Rabbit. This work by the artist Bordalo II has become an icon in Vila Nova de Gaia. Do you know why? We'll find out!
Finally, after a tour lasting 2 hours, we'll end the free tour by visiting the Corpus Christi Monastery. This monastery in Vila Nova de Gaia, located very close to the banks of the Duero River, dates back to the 17th century.
