Teleférico de Gaia

The Teleférico de Gaia is a cable car that opened in 2011, and it overlooks the World Heritage Site of the old town of Porto and the gentle flow of the Douro River. It connects the station next to the Beira Rio Market on the banks of the Douro River in Vila Nova de Gaia with the station next to the Morro Garden on the hill. As well as enjoying the wonderful scenery of the old town, it also provides a comfortable means of transport for those who want to avoid the slopes and steps.

Vila Nova de Gaia

Vila Nova de Gaia is located across the Douro River from Porto. Portugal's third largest city is famous for its numerous warehouses where the specialty of port wine is aged. Touring the wine cellars and viewing the Historic Centre of Porto on the other side of the river from observation spots is a regular part of the trip. You may also want to take the cable car that connects the hilltop to the riverside and enjoy a short stroll on the air while having the quaint scenery all to yourself.
