DOURO CRUISES

Douro river Cruises - 2 Days Porto to Regua upstream by boat and downstream by train

Leaving Porto, the boat passes under some of the famous high level bridges. The urbanisation of Porto is quickly left behind and the steep banks have villages and riverside homes.

Douro river Cruise - Porto Regua

As the journey across Portugal takes place, the boat is raised by a series of locks,some being the highest in Europe.

Later the railway line runs alongsde the river for its journey upstream.

The river passes through the demarcated port wine region of steeply terraced hills and mountains and white painted quintas to Regua the important Port Wine town.

After a stop for lunch we arrive at Regua at 4.30 pm and stay the night in Regua

The following day there is a Port Wine tsting before returning to Porto by train.
