Gaia: Six Bridges Cruise from Cais da Gaia

About
Step aboard for a serene voyage along the Douro River, tracing the age-old route of traditional rabelo boats as they transport port wine to Porto. From the cozy confines of the boat, soak in the enchanting views of Ribeira’s picturesque, red-roofed homes and Vila Nova de Gaia, the pulsating heart of the port wine trade.
Slip beneath Porto’s six world-famous bridges, each a stunning example of architectural brilliance. Along the journey, gaze in awe at UNESCO World Heritage sites like the legendary port wine cellars, the heavenly Crystal Palace, and the grand Serra do Pilar Monastery, each adding an extra dash of magic to Porto’s irresistible allure.
