Highlights

Take part in a guided tour to the Suspension Bridge 516 Arouca and the Passadiços do Paiva from Porto. Crossing the 175 metres high bridge over the Paiva River with a local Guide and discover one of Portugal’s most impressive landscapes. The tour begins in Porto, with transportation to the UNESCO Geopark in Arouca. After a brief security briefing, prepare to cross one of the world’s largest suspended pedestrian bridges. Walk through the Paiva Passages and admire the stunning views of cliffs, river and waterfalls. The tour ends at the river beach of Espiunca, ideal for relaxing. If you choose the option with lunch, a typical dish of the region will be served. Important note: Due to the recent fires, about 2 km of the passages have been destroyed and will not be passed. The remaining route retains all the safety and beauty of this unique experience.

About Porto

Porto tumbles down steep hills to the Douro River, a granite city of tiled churches, riverside cellars and port wine aged across the water.

The Ribeira district lines the riverbank with colourful houses, cafés and boats, part of a UNESCO-listed old centre beneath the iron arches of the Dom Luís I Bridge. Above it, the São Bento station hall is covered in blue-and-white azulejo tiles, the Clérigos Tower rises above the rooftops, and the Sé cathedral stands on its hill.

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).
