Description

A 50-minute cruise along the Douro River aboard a traditional rabelo boat, the flat-bottomed vessels that once carried port wine barrels downstream. Boats depart hourly from Cais da Ribeira on the Porto side and pass under all six of the city's famous bridges, including the iconic Dom Luís I. The short duration and open-air deck make it an easy, exciting outing for children of any age, with great views of the colourful Ribeira houses and Gaia wine cellars. Boarding is at the quay, so keep an eye on little ones near the water; the departure point is level and wheelchair accessible.
