Ribeira, Dom Luís Bridge and Clérigos in 1h

The stops, in order

Cais da RibeiraWelcome to the Cais da Ribeira, the beating heart and colorful soul of Porto, a UNESCO World Heritage site. You stand on the banks of the Douro, facing the historic cellars of Vila Nova de Gaia where the famous Port wine matures. Admire the tightly packed houses with blue, yellow and ochre azulejo facades cascading down to the river like an amphitheater of red roofs.
Dom Luís I Bridge↳ 164 m from the previous stop (straight line)Here is the Dom Luís I Bridge, Porto's icon and one of Europe's most celebrated engineering works. Opened in 1886, this double-deck iron bridge was designed by Théophile Seyrig, a pupil of Gustave Eiffel. With its 172-meter arch, it was the longest wrought-iron span in the world when it was built.
Clérigos Tower↳ 771 m from the previous stop (straight line)Before you stands the Clérigos Tower, Porto's vertical landmark and the first sight when arriving in the city. Built in the 18th century by the Italian architect Nicolau Nasoni, this 75-meter Baroque tower is part of the Clérigos Church, a masterpiece of Portuguese religious art. Its 240 steps lead to a panoramic terrace embracing the whole city—from the Douro to São Bento station, from the blue azulejos to the golden bell towers.
