The Rabelo Boats exists since the XIII Century

The Rabelo Boat is a Portuguese vessel, typical of the Douro River, which traditionally transported the barrels of Port Wine from the Alto Douro, where the Wine Estates are located, to Vila Nova de Gaia - Porto, where the wine was stored and later sold and shipped to other countries.

6 bridges cruise in Porto: Is it worth it?

One of the most popular things to do in Porto is the 6 Bridges Cruise, so I decided to write…

One of the most popular things to do in Porto is the 6 Bridges Cruise , so I decided to write this article answering the question burning in your chest (“Is it worth to take the 6 Bridges Cruise in Porto?”), and how to save money on this activity.

If you are tired for touristy activities and yet would like to do a river cruise, check out my article about the Best river cruises in Porto (besides the 6 bridges cruise), because it is REALLY worth reading it 🙂

If you want to do a river cruise in Porto BUT not with other 60 people (that is how many people join the 6 bridges cruises!), then consider doing one of these cruises:

• Best river cruise in Porto with Wine and Tapas – combine a 6 bridges cruise with some food and wine.
• Best river cruise in Porto for parties – perfect for groups of friends that want to party!
• Best river cruise in Porto for solo travellers – for those of you traveling alone and wanting to meet new people (I get you, I travel alone all the time!).
• Top river cruise on a PRIVATE Yacht – for those that want to take their 6 bridges cruise to the next level.
• Best river cruise with a local Fisherman! – for those looking for a more authentic experience.

What is the 6 Bridges Cruise in Porto

It is a 50 minutes river cruise in Douro river, starting either at Ribeira’s quay (in Porto), or in Vila Nova de Gaia’s quay (depending on the company you choose), and it shows the amazingly beautiful 6 bridges in Porto.

The 6 bridges Cruise is ideal for:

• Families with kids – it is actually one of the activities we like to include on our private tours in Porto, whenever there are children in the group. During the 6 bridges cruise the kids get to see many exciting things, from natural elements to buildings on both margins, and hence they never get bored.
• If you need a break in between activities – as the 6 bridges cruise is rather short, you can use it as a relaxing moment in between a tour and a visit to a Port wine cellar, for instance, or between visiting the best monuments in Ribeira and going out for dinner.
• If you are in need of a relaxed time – there’s nothing for you to do once you’re on board, just enjoy the sun and take great photos of Porto 🙂
• If you would like to have a better idea of the main buildings of Porto. From the river you have a much nicer and complete perspective of them.
• Naturally, if you’re curious about the 6 bridges of Porto 🙂

How to take the 6 bridges cruise

There are several ways. I always prefer to buy the tickets online as I hate to wait in queues (specially during summer time!). Then, you just need to print the tickets and show it at any boat departing from Ribeira neighborhood, in Porto. I recommend you to arrive 10 minutes earlier, in order to ensure that you are one of the first to enter the boat – this way, you’ll get a spot at the bow, rather than on the inside. You can save your seat by getting the online ticket to the 6 bridges cruise . Don’t forget that kids under three years old don’t pay, and kids between 4 – 10 years old have 50% discount. If you want to make the most of your day in Porto, why not combine the cruise with some other activities? Check out some tips below for some great ways to spend your day (and save money). 😉

How to save money on the 6 Bridges Cruise in Porto?

Hop on hop off bus tour + 6 bridges cruise + port wine cellar visit: save 41€.

Many people prefer the combined ticket to the Hop On Hop off bus tour + 6 bridges cruise + Port wine cellar. It is indeed a great deal, as you only pay 35€. This is incredibly cheap because the river cruise costs 15€, a visit to a Port wine lodge around 17 / 20€ and the Hop On Hop Off Bus around 22€ / day. The total cost of those separate activities would be 17€ + 15€ + 22€ x 2 days = 76€, so at the very least, you are saving 41€ if you get the combo ticket. With this ticket, you get a Hop-on hop-off bus ticket that is valid for 2 days and you can use as many times as you want during that period of time. This is great for those who don’t have a lot of time in the city and for seniors, because you avoid the hills of Porto. You also get a guided tour of the Calém wine lodge with wine tasting and discounts on restaurants, bars, shops and other attractions. Plus the 6 Bridges Cruise, obviously. Save yourself some bucks by getting the online combo ticket.

City Train tour + 6 Bridges Cruise + Port wine cellar visit: save 10€

Another way of saving money is to get this ticket for the City train tour + 6 bridges cruise + Port wine cellar . It is a great combo if you are travelling with children because they usually love the magic train! And it’s very cheap – only 29€. I recommend you buy the combo ticket because if you buy separately you will be paying double that price (over 40€) because the river cruise costs 15€, a visit to a Port wine lodge around 17 / 20€ and the magic train 10€. Therefore at the very least, you are saving 10€ if you get the combo ticket .

What does the 6 bridges cruise in Porto consist of?

I already told you the history of the 6 bridges of Porto , and hence I am not going to do the same on this article. Instead, down below you’ll find some pictures taken from inside the boat during the cruise – they might actually help you to decide to either take it or not! 😉

The 6 bridges cruise starts at Luiz I bridge , designed by Théophile Seyrig – no, this is NOT Eiffel’s bridge, unlike what many tour guides in Porto will make you believe!

Afterwards, you’ll see Infante Dom Henrique’s bridge, launched in 2003. It was the last bridge to be built in Porto, and it is a remarkable example of how engineering can present elegant solutions to difficult challenges.

You’ll then view the beautiful D. Maria Pia’s bridge – designed by Théophile Seyrig and Gustave Eiffel. In 1991, this bridge was superseded by São João bridge, built some meters away, as you can see in the picture.

Behind São João bridge, looking very tiny on this picture, is Freixo bridge, launched in 1995.There is a high way called “VCI” that surrounds the city in between Freixo bridge and Arrábida bridge. If you’re renting a car at the airport of Porto, you’ll most likely take this highway when entering the city.

It’s time to go peek my favorite bridge of Porto, the Arrábida Bridge. What a superb piece of engineering – it is actually my favourite bridge in Porto!Nowadays you can climb the arch of the Arrábida bridge from the inside, but to be honest it’s nothing special because, unlike what you might thing, the view from the top is not spectacular.

During the 6 bridges cruise, you can admire the wonderful views of both Porto and Afurada, the magic fishermen village that will appear on your left hand side.

Important notes regarding the 6 bridges cruise in Porto:

• Don’t forget to bring both sunscreen and a light scarf, as it gets very sunny and windy at the same time.
• Please remember that the online tickets are valid for all the boats that depart from the deck in Ribeira, in Porto, and not on the boats that depart from Gaia.
• Remember that this is one of the most popular activities in Porto and hence you should book your tickets in advance – at least 3 / 4 days.
• Once inside the boat, please be reasonable and don’t put yourself in danger by climbing to the edges to take photos, as the staff will come to take you down!
• If you’re travelling with children, make sure they behave inside the boat, by not screaming and running around other people.

I hope you enjoy the ride! 🙂

6 Bridges Douro River Day Cruise + Best Porto Boat Tours (2024)

Are you ready to enjoy a 6 Bridges Douro River Day Cruise on one of the best Porto boat tours?

The 6 Bridges Cruise is one of the best things to do in Porto, and for a good reason. Hop onboard replica Rabelo boats to experience part of the path that former wine merchants would take when bringing barrels of Port wine from Douro Valley to Vila Nova de Gaia. Or go for a more private experience on a yacht or sailboat.

Escape the city and relax while enjoying the river’s calm waters and seeing this adorable riverside town from the water. I’ve done the six bridges tour in Porto and will share with you if the 6 Bridges cruise is worth it, how long the day river cruise is, and the best Porto boat tours.

Table of Contents

What are the 6 Bridges in Porto?

There are a total of six bridges in Porto: 

• Ponte Dom Luis I

Ponte do Infante

Ponte de dona maria pia, ponte de são joão bridge, ponte de freixo, ponte da arrábida.

This list is the order in which you will see them during your river cruise. Each bridge is distinct from the next, having been built over multiple years, using a variety of architectural styles. Below is information about each of the six bridges in Porto.

Ponte Dom Luis I 

Ponte Dom Luis I connects Porto with Vila Nova de Gaia and is the most famous bridge in Porto . When you see a picture of Porto with a bridge, it is almost always Ponte Dom Luis I.

A double-decker iron arch bridge, the bridge takes its influence from Paris’s Eiffel Tower . The bridge opened in 1886, designed for automobile and pedestrian usage. 

Today, the upper level of the bridge is for the metro and pedestrians, and the lower level is for pedestrians and cars. I walked across the upper and lower parts of the bridge. I recommend experiencing the bridge from both the upper and lower decks.

Ponte do Infante is the newest bridge in Porto , built in 2003. This upper-deck road bridge, Ponte do Infante, was built to replace the upper deck of Ponte Dom Luis and is used for automobile traffic. 

Ponte de Dona Maria Pia is the oldest bridge that connects Porto with Vila Nova de Gaia, built in 1877. Its identity is often confused with Ponte Dom Luis I due to their similar shape, but they are each different.

Ponte de Dona Maria Pia is a wrought-iron single-deck arch bridge built for railway traffic. Today, the bridge is no longer used and is a landmark.

Ponte de São João Bridge is the futuristic looking bridge of Porto . This concrete bridge was built in 1991 for railway traffic to replace Ponte de Dona Maria Pia. Rail could travel faster on this bridge, so that was appealing. Its futuristic design allows for faster rail travel over the bridge than Maria Pia could provide. 

Ponte de Freixo is the most remote and interior bridge in Porto. Built in 1995, the bridge is another road bridge for automobiles to get between Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia. Ponte de Freixo is double-wide, allowing for road traffic to cross from both directions simultaneously.

Ponte da Arrábida is the widest of the six bridges in Porto, being 87 ft wide. Opening in 1963, Ponte da Arrábida contains six lanes of traffic plus two pedestrian lanes.

Upon its completion, it had the largest span of any concrete arch bridge in the world. In 2011, Ponte da Arrábida was noted as a National Monument.

Is the 6 Bridges Douro River Cruise Worth it? 

If you enjoy river cruises and a quick getaway from the city, a 1 hour Douro River cruise is worth it .

Is the Douro a little touristy? Absolutely. But I would counter that a river cruise is one of the best ways to experience the riverfront and see the city of Porto from a different perspective. 

Porto is known as the city of bridges , so you won’t want to miss this activity on your Porto itinerary . I recommend everyone take the short Porto river cruise at least once, especially if it’s your first time visiting Porto.

“This boat ride was incredible! Great views, a great tour, and super hospitable guides! They were very friendly and welcoming right from the start, introducing themselves and making us feel very comfortable, they answered all of our questions and shared some very interesting information about the sights we were seeing and about Porto in general. They clearly love their city and love to share that with people! They even gave us a few glasses of “green wine” and let us try a red porto. On top of all of that they also recommended other places to visit in the city as well as great local places to eat dinner (he even made the reservation for us!). This trip was truly incredible and our experience in Porto was perfect thanks to this tour!

“Our 10 night river cruise and excursions were great. But the very last day I arranged a private tour with eco tours in Porto Portugal. Absolutely wonderful and far better than the excursions offered on the ship. My mom is 86 and has mobility issues so private tours are life saving for our family. Daniela was our tour guide and he went far and above our expectations in ensuring my mom was able to see everything and experience hard to get to places like the Churchill wine tasting room. He literally backed up an extremely narrow cobblestone road inches from hitting cars and side of building to bring my mom up to the front door. During the tour, he made sure the tour guide carried a chair around for my mom to sit on as well. He was extremely knowledgeable and spoke English very well and was loud enough for all of us to hear in the very luxurious van. Bravo eco Tours! Highly recommend!” – TripAdvisor Travler ( see more reviews )

We were skeptical of the price as it seemed to good to be true, so we signed up and arrived early, and was ensured we were all set to go for our 3pm boat tour. We hung out at the nearby cafe until Ines came to retrieve us to start our boat ride. To our surprise, we had the whole boat to ourselves! Andrés and Ines showed us around the river and were very friendly and knowledgeable of the history of Porto. They then brought out various different wines to taste and paired them with delicioso chocolates. We had some great conversations and they even recommended some local restaurants for dinner.

The 6 Bridges Douro River Day Cruise in Porto: What It’s Like

After scootering around Lagos and parasailing in Albufeira on Portugal’s southern coast, I was ready for more adventures in this beautiful country. Arrive early to check in for your river cruise before its departure time. After checking in, you will line up to board the boat, prepared to board when the ship is ready. Choose an open seat and get ready to sail. 

Depending on the tour you choose, there may be an audio part of the tour explaining the history of the six bridges. My river cruise did not include an audio tour.  

Once the boat sails, relax and feel the wind in your hair. Both sides of the boat offer a great view, as whatever you can’t see well on one side, you will see again on the return trip. I loved seeing each of Porto’s six bridges and enjoying sitting down after a long day of sightseeing.

Seeing Porto from the water is charming and well worth the ticket price. If I didn’t take the river cruise, I wouldn’t have seen half of the bridges in this adorable town. I recommend the 6 bridges cruise as part of your Porto itinerary.

Tips for the Best Experience with Your Porto River Day Cruise

• Plan your river cruise close to sunset if you plan to watch the sunset from Porto’s waterfront area. Porto is known for their incredible sunsets, so you will want to plan where you will be to watch it. We took our cruise around 5 pm, then stayed in the waterfront district until the sun had set.
• During the cruise, you cannot sit at the front of the boat as your seat , but you can take a photo with the view.
• If you sit on the left outer edge of the boat, be prepared to be splashed. During my tour, we got splashed, but the rest of the ship stayed dry. It wasn’t a big deal for us, but other people moved after that. Something to note when choosing where to sit during your ride. 
• Book a ticket in advance to ensure your spot. If you don’t know your schedule, buy your ticket for the same day, but be prepared that not all time options may be available. I bought my tickets on the same day and had to pick a time slightly later than I intended but it worked out. 
• Tie up your hair unless you are okay with it tangling in the wind.

• While on the cruise, it is not permitted to use the front of the boat as a seating area. However, you are more than welcome to capture a memorable photo with the magnificent view.
• If you’re eager to witness Porto’s breath-taking sunset from the waterfront area, it’s advisable to plan your river cruise close to sunset. Porto is renowned for its incredible sunsets, making it a memorable experience to capture. We recommend scheduling your cruise around 5 pm, allowing ample time to enjoy the scenic views as the sun gracefully descends. After the cruise, you can continue immersing yourself in the captivating waterfront district, savouring the atmosphere until the sun has fully set.
• Please be aware that if you choose to sit on the left outer edge of the boat, there is a possibility of getting splashed. During my own tour, some of us experienced splashes while seated in that area, while the rest of the ship remained dry. While it wasn’t a major inconvenience for us, it prompted some other passengers to relocate to different seats. It’s worth considering this when deciding where to sit during your ride.
• To secure your spot on the river cruise, it is recommended to book your ticket in advance. However, if you’re uncertain about your schedule, you can purchase a ticket for the same day. Keep in mind that not all time options may be available, so be prepared for potential limitations. In my experience, I purchased my tickets on the same day and had to choose a slightly later time than originally intended. Fortunately, everything worked out well.
• To avoid any inconvenience or tangling caused by the wind, it is advisable to tie up your hair during the cruise. This simple precaution will help ensure a more comfortable and enjoyable experience on the boat.
• Don’t forget to bring both sunscreen and a light scarf, as it gets very sunny and windy at the same time.

The cruise lasts for 50 minutes. If you have purchased the ticket in advance then we recommend setting aside an hour to exchange the voucher, check in, and disembark.

Prices vary depending on the company you book with but expect to pay around £13 per person for a standard (no frills) Six Bridges Tour.

The price includes the cruise itself, and usually an audio guide or commentary in a chosen language. There are some cruises where a glass of port wine is offered (prices are higher).

Probably the best time to take the cruise is in the morning, at night, or during sunset. However, unlike sunset cruises in Lisbon, there are only a few companies that offer this activity and most conclude around 6:30 pm or so.

During your river cruise, you will encounter the six bridges in a specific order, each with its own unique characteristics. These bridges were constructed over several years, showcasing a diverse range of architectural styles. Below is information about each of the splendid bridges in Porto.

The awe-inspiring bridge that never fails to impress is none other than the iconic Luis I Bridge. It has earned the reputation of being the most frequently photographed bridge over the Douro, as per a visual statistic. This remarkable structure boasts the distinction of once having the world’s largest wrought-iron arch, spanning an impressive length of 395 meters. Upon closer inspection, its intricate and intertwined decoration, reminiscent of delicate filigree, reveals its exquisite beauty.

Designed by the Belgian company Société de Willebroeck and executed under the guidance of engineer Théophile Seyrig, a disciple of Gustave Eiffel, the bridge was inaugurated in 1886. Initially, only the lower deck was accessible, with vehicle traffic utilizing the upper deck two years later. However, in 2003, as part of maintenance work, the bridge underwent a transformation, transitioning from vehicular use to accommodating the light rail network.

Before its incorporation into the city’s infrastructure, another bridge once spanned the river — the Suspension Bridge, also known as the Maria II Bridge. It held the distinction of being Portugal’s first metal bridge and was opened in 1842. However, in 1887, it was dismantled to make way for the current captivating structure that never fails to enchant spectators upon their first encounter. Illuminated by night, the Luis I Bridge emanates a warm yellow glow, lending it a dramatic, cinematic, and undeniably romantic ambiance. While it may not be the Brooklyn Bridge, it often serves as the backdrop for unforgettable proposals and moments of love.

In 2003, an upstream bridge was constructed and named after the renowned Henry the Navigator, a native of Porto who played a pivotal role in opening up new worlds during the Age of Discovery. This bridge, characterized by its sleek and contemporary design, achieved a remarkable feat in construction with its 280-meter arch span, setting a new record and serving as a source of inspiration for numerous bridges worldwide.

With a width of twenty meters and four lanes, two in each direction, the bridge effectively absorbed the traffic redirected from the upper deck of the nearby Luis I Bridge following the establishment of the light rail network.

The bridge serves as a vital connection for vehicles traveling between Fontainhas and Serra do Pilar, where the magnificent Monastery of Serra do Pilar is situated. This 16th-century architectural gem is a prime example of European design, renowned for its impressive church and circular cloister. Originally housing an exclusively male order of Saint Augustine, the monastery later assumed a military role due to its strategic positioning during critical moments in Portugal’s history, including the French Invasions, the Siege of Porto, and the Maria da Fonte revolt. Recognized as a National Monument and listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site, the monastery offers breath-taking panoramic views of Gaia, Porto, and the magnificent bridges spanning the river.

In Porto, just as Paris has the iconic Eiffel Tower, the city boasts its own engineering marvel known as the Maria Pia Bridge. Designed by the renowned French engineer Gustave Eiffel (1832-1923), this bridge pushed the boundaries of classic metal construction during its time. Its construction involved ingenious techniques that revolutionized engineering practices.

The primary objective of the Maria Pia Bridge was to establish a railway connection between Gaia and Porto, which it successfully served for an impressive span of 114 years. Although it was officially inaugurated on November 4, 1877, by King Luis I and Queen Maria Pia, who bestowed upon it its name, an interesting footnote in its history involves the wife of the Portuguese engineer responsible for the project, Pedro Inácio Lopes. Prior to the official opening, Adelaide Lopes courageously crossed the bridge on foot right after the metallic arms had been installed to complete the deck. While this daring act earned her a place in history according to “Caminhos de Ferro Portugueses – Esboço da História” (1956), it remains a somewhat comical episode often overlooked elsewhere.

Although railway traffic ceased in 1991 and was redirected to the nearby São João Bridge, the Maria Pia Bridge’s towering structure, reaching a height of 61 meters, was rightfully declared a National Monument. Its historical significance and architectural grandeur continue to be appreciated by visitors, serving as a testament to Porto’s engineering heritage and the visionary work of Gustave Eiffel.

On June 24, 1991, the Maria Pia Bridge was succeeded by the contemporary São João Bridge, named after the patron saint of Porto’s summer celebrations. The São João Bridge represents a modern replacement, accommodating greater loads and faster speeds compared to its predecessor. It stands as a significant development in the city’s infrastructure.

In contrast to its predecessors, the São João Bridge showcases a minimalist design, constructed with reinforced concrete and adorned with a clean white paint finish. Rather than featuring an arched structure, it boasts a continuous multi-lane span, elegantly supported by two majestic pillars embedded into the riverbed. This design choice allows for seamless passage across the bridge.

The São João Bridge serves as a vital link between the Porto-Campanhã train station and destinations in the south, with its first stop being Vila Nova de Gaia. It facilitates efficient transportation for both commuters and travellers, enabling seamless connections to various southern locations.

Visually, the São João Bridge exhibits a modern and streamlined appearance, aligning with contemporary architectural sensibilities. Its efficient design and functionality contribute to the smooth flow of traffic and the overall development of Porto’s transportation network.

Whether admired from a distance or experienced first-hand while crossing, the São João Bridge represents a symbol of progress and connectivity, embodying Porto’s commitment to modern infrastructure and improved transportation systems.

The Arrábida Bridge serves as a critical connection for the A1 motorway, linking Porto in the north with Lisbon. It spans the Douro River, connecting Campo Alegre in Porto with Arrábida in Gaia. The bridge was designed as an alternative downstream crossing to alleviate traffic congestion on the Luís I Bridge. Notably, it was the first major bridge over the Douro River built by Portuguese companies under the supervision of engineer Edgar Cardoso (1913-2000), who was also responsible for the São João Bridge and the expansion of the runway at Madeira Airport.

The bridge features four modern bronze sculptures by artists Barata Feyo and Gustavo Bastos, situated on the pillars in the central deck area. These pillars once served as lifts, adding a unique element to the bridge’s design.

Constructed in 1963, the Arrábida Bridge boasted the world’s largest reinforced concrete arch at the time. Its impressive stature stands as a testament to engineering prowess. Since 2016, adventurous individuals have had the opportunity to climb the bridge’s 262 steps, reaching its pinnacle 65 meters above the riverbed. This National Monument offers breathtaking views of the surrounding area.

From the top of the Arrábida Bridge, observers can marvel at various notable landmarks. These include the nineteenth-century Customs House on the north bank, which was previously Miragaia beach and now serves as an important congress center. The Port Wine Museum, housed in an 18th-century building formerly used as a wine warehouse, also comes into view. The Church of Massarelos, adorned with a blue tile panel depicting figures such as Henry the Navigator and St. Elmer, the patron saint of sailors, stands nearby. Additionally, the STCP-Tram Museum, dedicated to preserving the history of the city’s iconic urban transport, can be seen from the bridge.

As the Douro River flows into the sea at ​​Foz, picturesque São Pedro da Afurada on the south side represents a typical fishing village in the region. The village’s inhabitants maintain a livelihood centred around boat building and repair, showcasing the traditional maritime heritage of the area.

The Freixo Bridge, the most modern of the six bridges, is situated on the outskirts of Porto and was inaugurated in 1995 to address the pressing issue of traffic congestion. Serving as the final segment of the inner ring road, it significantly improved access to the southbound direction. As the main entry and exit point of the city, the bridge accommodates four lanes in each direction, witnessing the passage of approximately 100,000 vehicles daily. Interestingly, the bridge consists of two separate structures, with a mere ten-centimetre gap between them, spanning a length of 750 meters.

Crossing the Freixo Bridge can be accomplished in various ways, including by car, on foot, by train, by metro, by bicycle, or even by navigating between the pillars. However, one of the most enjoyable methods is by boat, departing from the Ribeira riverfront or the Gaia quayside. This leisurely boat trip allows travellers to fully appreciate the bridges’ uniqueness while contemplating other ways to explore and become better acquainted with the cities on either bank.

From the Porto side, the wine houses stand out with their distinctive rooftop lettering, proudly displaying names such as Calem, Kopke, Quinta do Noval, Sandeman, Gran Cruz, Taylor’s, Dow’s, Offley, and more. On the Gaia side, visitors can enjoy the captivating view of colourful old houses, church towers, and the historic centre, which has been recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site. Along the Douro River, the rabelos, traditional boats that once transported wine barrels downstream to the Port houses, add to the enchantment as they gracefully navigate alongside other tourist vessels. Porto continues to shine as one of Europe’s premier travel destinations, offering a delightful blend of cultural heritage, scenic beauty, and renowned hospitality.

The River Douro

After the Tagus and the Ebro, the Douro River is the longest on the Iberian Peninsula. The Douro River is nearly 900 kilometres long and starts in the Spanish province of Soria. From there, the River Douro flows into Northern Portugal and ends in the Atlantic Ocean in Porto.

Porto is the second largest city in Portugal and is famous for its Port wines. From the vineyards of the Douro Valley, wine was transported downriver in flat-bottom boats.

Then, the wines would be stored in barrels in cellars in Vila Nova de Gaia, a city and municipality on the other side of the river in Porto. One of the best ways to enjoy the beautiful city and the river is by embarking on a river cruise in Porto.

Best Porto boat tours 

Along the shores of Ribeira Quay , a river cruise awaits! There are several providers, but which one should you choose? And what will you see along the way? Let’s discover the different options before you make your reservation for the boat tours.

The 6 Bridges cruise

The Six Bridges cruise is by far the most popular tour on the river. As the name suggests, the Porto boat tour will take you to the six bridges of the city (more about these later). The 6 Bridges Cruise starts on the Porto side at Ribeira’s or Vila Nova de Gaia’s quay.

There are several companies to choose from , and all will sail along the six bridges. All carriers are suitable, but the difference is primarily notable in the type of boat you’ll travel with.

How long is the Six Bridges cruise?

Usually, a boat tour takes 50 minutes and departs on the hour. In summer, you can enjoy the boat tour from 11 AM until 6 PM. In winter, the cruises are available between 11 AM and 4 PM.

Please note: not all cruises are guided. Some offer an audio guide on board. Some boat tours provide drinks and snacks on board for an additional price. Be sure to make an online reservation , as these Porto boat tours can sell out !

Step on board a Rabelo boat

One of the most unique ways to discover the Douro River is by stepping onboard a Rabelo boat ! You follow the wine merchants ‘ footsteps during the traditional Porto boat tour   experience. Besides, you’ll learn more about the wine cellars and the transportation of wine.

Cruises last 50 minutes and will sail along the six bridges. This river cruise departs from Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia.

The Douro River from a sailboat

You can step on board a sailing boat for the best panoramic views of Porto during sunset . While you enjoy sipping your wine, you’ll see the Ponte Luis I bridge, the old city, Foz do Douro and Ponte da Arrabida.

A relaxing cruise on a sailboat usually lasts 2 hours and departs from Douro Marina. A sailboat cruise won’t cover the six bridges, but instead, you get to enjoy the Douro’s mouth before it streams into the Atlantic Ocean with the small group.

Private bridges tours

If you prefer private tours, there are a bunch of different options. Enjoy a private speedboat cruise , for example, and enjoy the views over the riverbanks of Porto. A private tour usually takes two hours, but there are customised routes available.

Your private guide will tell you more about the city’s history, and you will receive a traditional Portuguese welcome drink on board. A private tour is great if you want to avoid the crowds, enjoy a romantic trip to Porto, or celebrate a special moment with friends .

What are the six bridges in Porto?

After mentioning the six bridges numerous times, you might wonder what these are and why they are so famous. A tour guide will tell you more about the structures during the Bridges River cruise , but let’s have a look at what you can expect during the Bridges tour.

Ponte Dom Luis I

Let’s start with the most famous one of all : the Ponte Dom Luis I. It is the icon of Porto and connects the city in the north with Vila Nova de Gaia in the south. Téophile Seyrig, a German architect, designed the Dom Luis Bridge. He was a business partner of French engineer Alexandre Gustave Eiffel , hence you might get some Eiffel Tower vibes.

The building of Ponte Dom Luís I over the Douro River finished in 1886 , and it was initially built for cars. Nowadays, the Porto metro line D crosses the upper deck of the Dom Luís Bridge, and there is a pedestrian walkway.

The lower deck is accessible for road traffic and pedestrians. The view from the bridge over Porto is impressive ! So remember to cross the bridge at least once during your trip!

Ponte Infante Dom Henrique

When sailing inland, Ponte Infante Dom Henrique is the first bridge after the Ponte Luis Bridge. It’s the youngest bridge of the six and opened in 2003. The total length is 371 meters and is used by cars and pedestrians.

Adão da Fonseca designed Ponte Infante Dom Henrique , and the bridge has one of the shallowest arches in the world.

Ponte de Dona Maria Pia

When you see Ponte Maria Pia, it might remind you of the Ponte Luis Bridge. Maria Pia Bridge was built in 1887 and was designed by Téophile Seyrig as an iron railway bridge. It’s the oldest of six bridges and is 353 meters long.

It is no longer used by trains, as the railroad moved to the São João Bridge. Instead of demolishing the bridge, it remains a stunning national monument in Porto!

Ponte de São João

Portuguese architect Edgar Cardoso designed Ponte de São João. As mentioned, it is now used as the new railway bridge . Ponte de São João is 66 meters high and 250 meters long.

Ponte do Freixo

Ponte do Freixo is, with 705 meters, the longest of the six bridges. The road bridge has eight lanes and opened in 1995. Ponte do António Reis and Daniel de Sousa designed Freixo, and the bridge has a sleek design.

Ponte da Arrábida

The bridge  closest to the Atlantic Ocean  is Ponte da Arrábida. It’s another design by Edgar Cardoso, and it opened in 1963. Back then,  it had the longest arch (270 meters)  of any concrete bridge in the world!

The bridge is 70 meters tall , and it’s a road bridge with six lanes. It’s the last bridge to see during your cruise in Porto. The river cruise returns to the city centre, where you can enjoy a wine tasting afterwards, for example!

Other things to see during the boat tour

During the boat tours on the Douro River, you´ll discover more than the 6 bridges. The Bridges tour passes many historic buildings at Cais da Ribeira, and your tour guide will tell you many stories about the city.

This is the oldest part of Porto, and on the south side of the river, you´ll see the monastery Mosteiro da Serra do Pilar .

During the boat tour, you’ll cruise along the  Museu Nacional da Imprensa, Jornais e Artes Gráficas, the Press Museum in Porto, as well as many former factories, such as the Massarelos Crockery Factory.

From the river, you can also spot the Tram Museum, the garden Torreão do Jardim do Palácio and the church Igreja de São Francisco. Closer to the sea, you’ll discover the nature reserve Douro Estuary and Foz do Douro.

My kiddo would absolutely love the 6 bridges cruise. We really need to plan a trip to Porto. Thanks for the inspiration!

Anytime Yvonne! Have a great trip together 🙂

That was a great article! Porto is on my to-visit list!

Thank you, Simina 🙂 I hope you get to visit soon!

Porto looks beautiful, I especially liked Pátio das Nações! Thanks for the inspirations 🙂

Anytime Jaqueline. Happy to hear you had a great time!

Porto is a beautiful city. When we visited a few years ago we didn’t get around to doing a river cruise and see all 6 bridges. So that’s a good one for when we return to Porto.

There is so much to see and do as well 🙂 There is always a next time!

I love that there are so many different options + that’s awesome that a lot of the prices are so affordable! Watching the sunset there would be magical. :]

Yes, it´s really affordable, and even the private tours are great for small groups. I´d go again in a heart beat!

Seeing Porto and the Douro by boat is a great idea. Knowing it’s the third longest river after the Tagus and Ebro on the Iberian Peninsula is good bit of trivia to keep locked away too.

Now I hope you get this Trivia question soon! 🙂

Thank you so much for all of the amazing info! Would love to go to Portugal one day!

I hope you get to visit sometime!

We did the 6 Bridges Cruise when we were in Porto. It was great to see the city from the water. But it would have been lovely to do a boat cruise for sunset on a sailboat. We drove up along the Douro River but one day would like to return to cruise it.

The sailing tours are great, too! I´ve done 3 in the last 2 years and can´t get enough 🙂

It’s always nice to see and experience a city from its waterways and the boat tour seems like one such experience.

Maybe you get to do it next time in Porto! Have fun 🙂
