5. The Ponte D. Luís I (or Ponte Luiz I, in the original graffiti inscribed therein), is a bridge in metal structure with two boards, built between 1881 and 1886, connecting the cities of Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia (northern and southern bank, respectively) separated by the river Douro, in Portugal.

7. The Arrábida Bridge is a bridge over the Douro River that connects Porto (by the area of Arrábida) to Vila Nova de Gaia (by the node of the Candal), in Portugal. Since the 1930s it was necessary to create alternative connections to the old bridges (bridges D. Maria Pia and D. Louis) in order to respond to the growing flow of road traffic. At the time of its construction in 1963, the bridge had the largest armed concrete bow of any bridge in the world.

About Porto

Porto styrter ned ad stejle bakker til Douro, en granitby af kakkelklædte kirker, vinkældre ved floden og portvin, der modner på den anden side.

Ribeira-kvarteret kanter flodbredden med farverige huse, caféer og både, en del af en UNESCO-beskyttet gammel bymidte under jernbuerne på Dom Luís I-broen. Over det er stationshallen São Bento dækket af blå-hvide azulejos, Clérigos-tårnet rejser sig over tagene, og Sé-katedralen står på sin bakke.

Top-ranked sights in Porto: Clérigos Church and Tower (Torre & Igreja dos Clérigos), Dom Luis Bridge (Ponte de Dom Luis I), Porto Cathedral (Sé Catedral do Porto).
