The Douro is full of activities, from which we suggest visiting a farm with wine tasting, taking a cruise, taking a historic train ride, among others.
The Douro is the most emblematic region in the North of Portugal, distinguished by its historical and cultural richness. There are, therefore, some things that you cannot miss when visiting this beautiful region.
Visiting this Wine Region means visiting a wine estate, learning about its history, the cellars, learning about wine production methods and, of course, having a wine tasting.
There is a wide range of wine-producing farms throughout the Region, with the option of choosing between more traditional or modern farms and family-owned or large-scale farms.
Regardless of the farm you choose, you will have the opportunity to carry out a commented wine tasting, in which you can taste the famous Port wine, as well as other Douro wines.
In some of the farms it is even possible to have a picnic in the middle of the vineyards.
Visit viewpoints
The Douro has the most beautiful viewpoints with unique breathtaking landscapes. Believe me, it´s almoust criminal to visit this beautiful region without going through one.
Among the most emblematic viewpoints, the São Leonardo de Galafura Viewpoint in Régua stands out. In this viewpoint, considered Miguel Torga's refuge, it is possible to enjoy moments full of peace and tranquility, and still feel the nature that makes it unique.
On the Douro River there are a variety of options for taking a boat trip. You can opt for shorter or longer tours, and also more or less complete trips.
