Discover Porto from its "golden" river

Enjoy a cruise that will take you along the Douro River and show you the enchanting riverbank. With a 16-language audio guide that was developed by a historian to include accurate and interesting facts about the city. Thanks to georeferencing, the audio-guides are automatic, which means you’ll never be out of sync!

The “Bridges Cruise” gives you the opportunity to admire the old city of Porto, with its typical houses and the hustle and bustle of the Ribeira people, while admiring the architecture of the bridges that connect the two river banks.
