Lello and Cruise on the River Douro

About this experience

One of the must-see places in Porto is the Livraria Lello. Born in 1906, it carries with it more than a century of history and stories. A unique architectural space that makes your visit more enriching. It is considered a cultural symbol of Porto, has been classified as a Monument of Public Interest since 2013 and is a historic landmark of the city.

Ribeira, one of the most iconic areas of the city. The narrow streets, the colorful buildings and the typical restaurants create a perfect setting for walking along the river and enjoying the views of Villa Nova de Gaia.
This is where you will embark on the spectacular Six Bridge Cruise. A mandatory activity for visitors to Porto. During the boat tour, besides enjoying the view and the city, you will have the opportunity to know the six bridges that connect the Port to Villa Nova de Gaia and sail up close to the Atlantic Ocean.
