Sunset Six Bridges Cruise
Ready to capture stunning moments? Make sure your camera is at hand! Our adventure begins at the Ribeira pier, situated along the Douro River, where the Six Bridges cruise at sunset will set sail.

Additionally, you'll enjoy views of the Vila Nova de Gaia skyline, renowned for its historic port wine cellars.

- Croquettes with prawns or black pudding

Your culinary experience will be accompanied by beverages such as Port wine, white wine from the Douro Demarcated Region, juice, or water, the ideal way to unwind as the sun sets.
