The best way to enjoy the beauty of the Douro is by boat.
You will be invited to experience a trip through a truly idyllic scenery, the grape growing area for Port Wine and the riverside area of Oporto (Porto) declared by UNESCO as World Heritage sites.
Leaving Porto behind you will have the opportunity to pass under some of the famous high level bridges.The journey continues with the most impressive views, with its steeply terraced hills, mountains and white painted farm houses.
During the journey, the boat is raised by a number 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.
