What You’ll Experience

Porto (Pass By)

Your experience starts at our Meeting Point, next to S. Bento Station and you will meet your guide that will drive you to the Amarante, our first stop. On your way to the Douro Region, your guide will give you insights regarding the Portuguese history, development and cultural facts of portuguese heritage.

Amarante

Amarante, our first stop, features the majestic Serra do Marão and the river Tâmega, which flows through the city and adds charm to its picturesque houses. The city, possibly founded by the Roman centurion Amarantus, links the provinces of Minho and Trás-os-Montes. In the 13th century, St. Gonçalo, a Benedictine monk and the city's patron saint, built a bridge over the Tâmega. Amarante is also renowned for its sweets, including papos de anjo, brisas do Tâmega, toucinho do céu, bolos de São Gonçalo, and galhofas, which can be found in local cake-shops and cafés.

45 minutesAdmission Ticket Free

Miradouro de Sao Leonardo de Galafura

Our second stop, at 640 meters high, is the São Leonardo da Galafura Viewpoint between Vila Real and Peso da Régua. This spot offers breathtaking views of the Douro River and the steep, vineyard-covered slopes of the historic Trás-os-Montes region.
