Douro River Cruise Offers JARDINS SUSPENSOS (Porto/Pinhão/Porto) Saturdays

Travel offer to Portugal  |  Consult Information About Portugal


1 day - 0 nights

Leaving Porto, the boat passes under some of the famous high level bridges. The urbanization of Porto is quickly left behind and the steep banks have villages and riverside homes. As the journey across Portugal takes place, the boat is raised by a series of locks, some being the highest in Europe. These locks and the dams through which they go have tamed the river from the dangerous rapids which sank many yachts when the river was used for wine transport. Later the railway line runs along the river for its journey upstream. The arrival of the railway resulted in all the wine being carried by train and the carriage downriver by ship stopped. In recent years, the wine has been moved downstream by road tankers. The river passes through the demarcated port wine region of steeply terraced hills and mountains and white painted quintas to Regua, the important Port Wine town.
