Description

The traditional six bridges cruise is more than a simple boat ride; in fact, it is an experience that everyone who visits Porto must try. The reason is really simple, the beauty, the climate, the sensations of being in the middle of two cities, and obviously, the magnificent views projected by the amazing six bridges which connect Porto and Vial Nova de Gaia.

Porto, Heritage site by UNESCO, is special from the river making this cruise one the most beautiful and fantastic activities that Porto has to offer you, so get on board and appreciate this amazing boat trip.

Itinerary

There are six magnificent bridges that join the two banks of the Douro River. Have fun on the Six Bridges Cruise and get to know them – Luís I, Infante, Dona Maria, S. João, Arrábida and Freixo – from the oldest to the most modern. Enjoy the trip and observe the main points of interest that the view allows to reach: Ribeira Historic Area. S. Francisco Church . Stock Exchange Palace. Porto Customs House (Alfândega) . Port Wine Museum . Massarelos Church . Arrábida Bridge . Foz do Douro. Afurada

The Ponte Dom Luís I is a true icon of the city of Porto and a marvel of 19th century engineering. The Dom Luís I Bridge spans the River Douro between Porto on the north bank and Vila Nova de Gaia on the south bank. Designed by German architect, Téophile Seyrig (1843-1923), a disciple and business partner of French engineer Alexandre Gustave Eiffel (of Eiffel Tower fame), the Ponte Dom Luís I had the longest span of any metal bridge in the world when it was completed in 1886. Originally meant for road traffic, now the upper span carries Line D of the Porto metro and a pedestrian walkway, while the lower deck is for road traffic and pedestrians with no fear of vertigo.
