I never wanted to leave. I could live here. There is magic and music around every turn. Definately walk into the town of Porto. Don't miss Foresta Cafe. Definately cross the bridge on the top level and listen to music in the park, looking down on the river. Just walk and discover and keep walking and discovering. We can not wait to come back!

We stayed in an apartment overlooking the river which was amazing. From the beautiful misty sunrise to the colourful sunsets over ponte de dom luis every day, it was lovely. We used to sit on the balcony just watched the boats go by and the wildlife. It's definitely the heart of the city.

Took the train from Porto (Sai Bento station) to Pocinho, a 3.5 hour journey each way. The tracks runs along the Duoro River for a lot of the time and through the area with vineyards. The trip is well worth it. A return ticket for a pensioner was about 15 Euros. Pensioners get a large discount in Portugal so remember to take your passport to the ticket office. There is very little at Pocinho, there are a couple of places to get food and a coffee. The big boats do not operate from Porto up the Duoro River in winter (Oct - Mar), because of risk and maintenance they do not operate the numerous dams they now have on the Duoro. The train is a good alternative.

We could see it from our apartment, we walked alongside it and we went on a boat trip along this beautiful river which forms an important part of the city of Porto. The trip took us under the six bridges of Porto and we had a lovely time. Lots of bars and cafes line the river and it is lovely to sit and enjoy the views.

Spent the day touring the Douro River Valley and despite the rain and cold, we had a wonderful time. We did detour in the AM to Vila Real and the Mateus estate but then drove the Roman route and high altitude wine route, descended down to the N108 for some spectacular scenery and landscapes. The lousy weather put a damper on visiting local quintas and wine tastings but had a delightful day none the less! Can't beat the Douro!!!!

Place visited every day of the week we spent in the beautiful Port! On foot, on the boat admiring the six bridges that cross the city, the beach, the view from above of the Don Luis I bridge taking photographs and videos at will. A wonderful experience, not to mention visits to wineries in Gaia. Do absolutely this gorgeous ride in the way that most attracts you!

A beautiful day in Duoro valley! The wine kept coming, the 5 course meal was tasty and the views breathtaking ! Our tour guides Marlon and Castro were very entertaining and went above and beyond to ensure we had an amazing experience. Castro was even had home baked cookies for the bus ride home.

The Duoro Valley sits East of Porto. Its about a 2 hour train ride form Porto. You can also get there as part of a tour. Regardless if you are a group person or like rolling independently, make time to spend a day in the Duoro. Pinhao is the destination i would recommend. Make sure to do an hour boat tour and visit a vineyard. A truly almost magical place with views that roll on forever

Lovely river, the focal point of Porto. You can walk or drive across it (via the Luis I bridge), take a ferry across, take a boat ride up/down it, view it from the cable car, eat lunch alongside it on either side at one of the myriad restaurants, etc. We took a 50-minute boat ride with our toddler, and we all enjoyed it. (And we walked across the bridge, upper and lower levels both.)

We love Porto, our third visit and decided to walk from Porto City centre to the Porto coast specifically the lighthouse at Farolim de Felgueiras.walking it takes about 90 mins to 2hrs approx 6 km. Its a lovely walk, along mostly flat cycle/walking paths plenty to keep you interested along the river, several bars/restaurants, some of the small houses and flats are amazing for their small size and age other new places being built. !!. You pass the old Customs House where there is also a museum. Once you reach the Atlantic coast the sea is choppy and the lighthouse can often be hit with large waves. The beaches are sandy with plenty of rocks breaking them up. The tram terminates here so we opted for a tram back costing Euro6 per seat to the Ilfante terminal close to the Ribeira quay area, the trams are so old but a brilliant experience. Overall a lovely walk to give the calves and ankles a rest from the steep slopes of the Porto roads!
