Itinerary

Situated on the right bank of the River Douro, very close to its mouth, the city of Porto has a historical centre that still preserves a strong identity forged over many centuries and clearly visible in its remarkable buildings and unique urban fabric enlivened by the great vitality of the local inhabitants. Porto is a city full of history, charm, culture, and a modern spark. Situated on the banks of the Douro River, the Phoenicians established a trading post here at the mouth of the river nearly 3000 years ago. Porto is chiefly famous for the export of the wine named for it. Discover the secrets of Porto from land and river with the Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Porto and a Six Bridges Cruise on the Douro River.
 
Hop-On Hop-Off Porto:
When it comes to Porto, there is so much to be experienced and discovered. After your Six Bridges Cruise along the Douro River tour, return to dry land. With the Hop-On Hop-Off Porto Bus, start exploring Porto at your own pace. The bus takes you to two brilliant routes- red and blue. The two routes were carefully designed to ensure you see all the top sites and iconic landmarks Porto has in store for you. The Hop-On Hop-Off Porto Bus will take you through the streets of Porto, showing you its emblematic buildings and sites. 
 
Discover Portugal's second-largest city on board a double-decker bus, which will give you an incredible view of the best attractions in the city. Hop on and off the two lines available and explore the city at your own pace. The red route takes you to explore the city’s historic centre, where you can see Porto’s most important sights, such as the Torre dos Clérigos and the Igreja de São Francisco (San Francisco Church), before heading out to the coast and the stunning ocean views from Castelo do Queijo. The blue route heads over the Douro into Vila Nova da Gaia, the centre of the port wine industry. One of our favourite places to hop off is the Jardim do Morro, a delightful park where you can enjoy fantastic views of Oporto across the Douro. These are only some of the amazing local attractions you can visit or see from the comfort of the sightseeing bus. With the 48-hour Hop-On Hop-Off Porto Bus you can board in and out at any stop and as many times as you want, allowing you to visit each site at your own pace.
 
Magnificent Six Bridges Cruise along the River Douro
Experience the blend of historic landscapes from the Douro River, offering a different perspective with the Magnificent Six Bridges Cruise along the Douro River. A cruise along the river takes you along the Douro past Porto’s world-famous port lodges and under the city’s six legendary bridges. See the iconic Dom Luis I Bridge, which is famous for its spectacular arch. Pass by the splendid Arrábida Bridge, which curves elegantly over the river. Look at the Infante D. Henrique Bridge, nearly 400 meters across, is the most modern of the 6 bridges. This delightful bridge defies gravity as it crosses the river 75 metres above the water. Admire the beautiful Maria Pia Bridge, one of the great works of Gustav Eiffel. This extraordinary railway bridge has been standing proudly for nearly 150 years, though it is no longer in use today. Taking trains over the river now belongs to the São João Bridge. Its sleek modern design stands in contrast to that of the Maria Pia. Last but not least, view the Freixo Bridge, the lowest of the six yet also the widest with an incredible span of more than 700 metres.
 
Porto is a beautiful city with some of its most attractive buildings. Enjoy incredible views from a privileged viewpoint and the riverside port lodges as you glide through the Douro River. Enjoy this scenic and relaxing cruise to finish your tour in a fabulous way. The way the river cuts through the landscape will also live long in your memory. This Six Bridges Cruise along the Douro River experience is one of Porto’s most sought-after attractions. Enjoy the scenic and relaxing boat trip for an unforgettable experience.
 
Night Tour:
On top of all this, there is a panoramic nighttime Porto bus tour, which will let you see the city in a whole new light. Immerse in the enchanting nighttime atmosphere of Porto. The night panoramic Porto bus tour offers a unique way to experience the city's illuminated landmarks and historic districts. On a lovely, cool evening, riding through Porto on our open-top bus is delightful and see the city shines in a whole new light—perfect for a magical evening adventure. Get ready to capture unforgettable memories and uncover the enchanting side of Porto after dark.
