Vila Nova de Gaia Vila Nova de Gaia No Data

Description


Although it looks as though it should be part of the same city, Vila Nova de Gaia, otherwise know as Gaia, is a completely separate town, with it's own council and tourist information centre. It's also where all the Port wine lodges house their cellars for the storage of Port whilst it matures. Most of them offer tours and the views from this side of the Douro looking back to Porto are spectacular

Getting There

The quickest way to get to Gaia is to walk across the Ponte de Dom Luis I from the Ribeira. Alternatively there are plenty of buses that go across the bridge, or the Metro goes over the upper bridge.
