Crucero de los seis puentes desde Vila Nova de Gaia

Enjoy the famous Six Bridges of Porto cruise from Vila Nova de Gaia. You'll take a cruise on a traditional Portuguese Rabelo boat, and enjoy the best views of the towns of the Douro.

Cruise Details

Leaving from the Vila Nova de Gaia dock, we pass along the Douro river on board a traditional Rabelo boat, used to transport barrels from the vineyards to the Gaia wineries. During the ride, we admire the six main bridges which cross the Douro: Dom Luís I Bridge, Infante Dom Henrique Bridge, María Pía Bridge, São João Railway Bridge, Arrábida Bridge, and Freixo Bridge. Passengers will enjoy views of the towns along the river and receive information on points of interest in Porto and Gaia via English audioguides. Views of Porto's vineyards in Vila Nova de Gaia are also included.

The six bridges cruise concludes at the Vila Nova de Gaia dock.
