Douro Valley
No. 2 of Fall Viewing Attractions in Portugal

Douro Valley

4.8
4.9/5
30 reviews
Douro Valley is located in northern Portugal and is a natural and cultural landscape region famous for its winding river, terraced vineyards, and mountainous rural scenery. The Douro River flows from Spain into northeastern Portugal, traveling west through rolling valleys and passing through Porto before emptying into the Atlantic Ocean. The hillsides on both banks are mostly made of slate. Locals have built stone walls and terraces along the slopes to plant grapes, creating a distinctly layered pastoral landscape. It is an important production region for port wine and Douro wines, with numerous wine estates, cellars, and traditional villages scattered throughout. Visitors can take a train along the Douro River to enjoy the scenery, or choose from river cruises, self-drive tours through the countryside, vineyard visits, and wine tasting activities.Gouvaes Do Douro · 18.5km from Mateus

In our Milestones, we take a look back at the most defining moments, introduce some of the most influential personalities and witnesses to the many odd stories that have cropped up along the successful route journeyed by Livraria Lello!Porto · 77.5km from Mateus
