Boat Tours – Porto

From the six bridges to the huddled together, compact, colourful houses, a Porto boat cruise is the perfect way to explore the Northern Portuguese city. Enjoy the passing scenery and capture the Porto vibes as you cruise the River Douro. What’s more, you can combine your cruise with a hop-on bus tour, meaning you’ll capture all the city’s top attractions. Set off from the Estiva wharf and see the spectacular scenery, pass the famous 6 bridges, relax and take it all in. That’s the beauty of a Porto boat cruise. After it's over you might want to raise a glass of port in celebration.

About Paris

Experience Boat Tours in Porto

Explore at ease: Like most European cities you’ll find Porto has its fair share of social problems, but from a tourist perspective you’ll have no trouble. Follow the usual protocols, keep valuables hidden, stay in well-lit areas, and you’ll be just fine.

Raise a glass in Porto: On your cruise, you’ll see the majestic six bridges that stretch across the Douro. Away from those sights make sure to visit Porto Cathedral, the Bolsa Palace, explore the Avenida dos Aliados, known for its architecture, and you’ll no doubt see the Cais da Ribeira, the photogenic riverfront promenade. Oh, a finish off with a visit to the winery for a glass or two of port.

Romance with wine: There’s no better way to romance a loved one than with a river cruise. Look out for a combination ticket where you’ll enjoy a cruise along the Douro River with a wine tour, take in the sights and then delight in the local wines.


• The six bridges are a cruise highlight, and one of them, the Maria Pia bridge was designed by Gustave Eiffel, yep, him of the Eiffel Tower. The bridge was the last project he did before designing the famous Paris attraction.

• The port wine you sample will no doubt have a sweet taste. It’s to be enjoyed during or after dessert. Even more, reason to sample it, we say.

• If the sight and sound of the Douro River inspire you to want more water-themed fun, well, the metro in Porto can take you to the beach. You can reach the city of Matosinhos in around 30 minutes.

• If you can head for Café Majestic, one of the iconic places in Porto. It’s all art nouveau in style and is a true vintage coffee house.
