Discover Porto’s cityscape from the water during one of the most special times of the day. This cruise along the Douro allows you to escape the hustle and bustle of the streets for a few minutes and admire the city bathed in the warm light of the sunset.

The cruise takes place aboard a replica of the traditional rabelo boats, vessels closely linked to the history of the river and the transport of Port wine. Their design lends an authentic feel to an experience that combines heritage, scenery and tranquillity.

Along the route, you’ll be able to see the bridges linking Porto with Vila Nova de Gaia, as well as the colourful façades of the Ribeira and the wine cellars on the opposite bank. The changing light over the river creates a particularly attractive setting for admiring the city and taking photographs.

During the cruise, you can use a digital audio guide. To access it, simply scan the QR code provided on board with your mobile phone; we therefore recommend that you bring your device with sufficient battery power and a pair of headphones.

The tour departs from and returns to the Ribeira quay in Porto. Lasting approximately 50 minutes, it’s an activity that’s easy to fit in at the end of a day of sightseeing around the city.
