Learnt so much about port and wine and overall just a fantastic trip and the best day of our Porto trip. Only negative was the air con was Leaking on the bus and we got dripped on- luckily that didn’t spoil the trip tho 😄”

Porto: Six Bridges Cruise

3.Six Bridges Cruise

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 11,680 reviews · 50 min · from $21

Spend 50 minutes on the Douro aboard a typical rabelo boat, sailing between Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia. You’ll see the six named bridges, including Dom Luís I and Maria Pia, while prerecorded commentary plays in English, French, Portuguese, and Spanish. Arrive early for an outdoor seat and bring your QR code for boarding.

“It was a really nice way to view the areas surrounding the River Douro, including the bridges. Of which there are only 5 that you pass under on the boat, and the 6th you see from a distance. There is constant commentary throughout in Portuguese, English, Spanish and French. You must remain seated while on the boat and it's advisable to arrive early for the booking in order to get an outdoor seat on the boat (we arrived just in the nick of time and had to sit inside which obscured the view slightly). The trip in total takes no more than an hour.”

Porto: River Douro 6 Bridges Cruise

9.River Douro 6 Bridges Cruise

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 4,168 reviews · 1 day · from $17Best value

Cruise the Douro for about 50 minutes aboard a traditional-style boat, following the old Rabelo wine route beneath Porto’s six bridges. Choose a departure from Porto or Vila Nova de Gaia, admire Ribeira and Gaia from the river, and continue toward Foz do Douro. This is a scenic ride, not a fully guided tour.

“Great little cruise down the river. Took around 45 minutes in total. We out outside on the boat but there was some seats inside if you wanted. There is a recorded guide as you go under each bridge it tells you a little bit about each one and about the scenery left and right of the river. Had an excellent time, can’t complain, cheap and cheerful!”
