The Douro River

The calm water flows on Douro river in Porto and reflects the beauty of this ancient city.

The Douro river is the third longest river in the Iberian Peninsula and forms part of the border between Spain and Portugal. The Douro valley is famous for its wine production, especially port wine.

Today, the boat traffic on the Douro river is mainly composed of rabelo boats and cruise ships. Rabelo boats are traditional flat-bottomed boats that used to carry barrels of port wine from the vineyards to the cellars in Vila Nova de Gaia. Now, they are used for tourism and offer scenic tours along the river
