Porto is compact enough to walk and steep enough that you will not want to. The 15 below cover the river, the six bridges, the Gaia lodges across the water and the Douro Valley days that leave from the city, each with its price and how long it really takes.

From Porto: Douro Valley w/ Boat Tour, Wine Tasting & Lunch

2.Douro Valley w/ Boat Tour, Wine Tasting & Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 19,061 reviews · 6 - 10 hours · from $82

Porto to Douro Valley by coach with 1-hour river cruise, two Port tastings, olive oil sampling, and a Douro lunch.

“Our day tour was fantastic! Our guide, “Jesus,” was incredibly engaging and enjoyable. Each winery offered a unique experience and the knowledgeable staff provided a wealth of information about port wine. We also learned fascinating details about the wine regions and their distinct characteristics and some historical insights from our guide. The cancelled boat tour due to the weather was perfectly compensated with extra wine. Overall, it was a wonderful way to conclude our trip in Porto.”

The tastings were delicious and the lunch was even better. Miguel was our tour guide and really took his time to explain the history of the wine making and interesting bits of information on the different towns we visited. His energy and humor is perfection! Thank you Miguel for the special day!!!”

Porto: Six Bridges Cruise

4.Six Bridges Cruise

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

Take a 50-minute rabelo boat ride to see Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia’s 6 bridges, with multilingual audio and great river views.

“The boat ride was lovely! I'm so glad we did this so we could see a lot of the city that we would have missed out on if we had stuck with just the walking we were doing. The only "issue" was that I originally booked a 11:30 boat, but when I arrived they said they're no longer doing tours on the half-hour, just the hour. They were able to rebook me easily but I wish that had been communicated before I arrived at the dock - it would have changed how I structured my morning and I might have been able to get on the 11am tour instead of…”

A 1-hour Porto fado show at Casa do Fado with Port wine and a clear history intro in an intimate, acoustic venue.

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An Unforgettable Fado Experience in Porto! The Fado concert was absolutely amazing! The musicians and the singer were incredibly talented — their passion and emotion filled the entire room and truly made me fall in love with Fado music. Every note felt alive, and the atmosphere was simply magical. The venue itself was breathtaking, adding to the authenticity and beauty of the experience. And of course, enjoying it all with a delicious glass of Porto wine was the perfect touch. I highly recommend this concert to anyone visiting Porto — it’s an experience you don’t want to miss! I will definitely go back! - Indira”

I love love love the scenery, the colours of the vines, the placid waters of the Duoro (and Pinhao) rivers.”
