On board a typical Rabelo boat, you can admire surprising landscapes, impossible to see on national road routes. Finally, we return to Porto, along an incredible and comfortable journey. Accommodation in Porto.

DAY 5 PORTO, WORLD HERITAGE
After a delicious breakfast, we start our Tour of the emblematic city of Porto, the second-largest city in Portugal, whose history and development are intimately related to the Douro Wine Region. Located at the mouth of the Douro River, the city of Porto was a strategic point for the transportation of Port wine. In the past, the Douro vineyards were hundreds of kilometers from the ports. The solution was to transport the wine to Porto (crossing the Douro River), a city that was right next to the Atlantic Ocean, allowing the loading of Port wine barrels onto boats, for later export. With a refined architectural and landscape value, a visit to this famous city is a must. During this walk, we will have the opportunity to get to know the most important places in Porto, passing through its historic center, notable streets, squares, ancient and modern monuments, gardens, and much more. Finally, we cross the impressive Luis I bridge, to enjoy a delicious tasting of Port wines in one of the most famous cellars in Vila Nova de Gaia. Accommodation in Porto.
