Follow a walk shaped by the Douro River, moving between high viewpoints, waterfront spaces, and bridges. You will see the river from changing angles, from Miradouro da Ponte da Arrábida and Porto Bridge Climb to the Luís I Bridge and the viewpoints above the Ribeira. The route is worth taking for its sequence of broad panoramas, bridge details, and close views of the riverbanks.

  • A guide who talks

    Narration at every stop, starting on its own as you arrive — phone in your pocket.

  • The route, followed

    A live map with the turns called out, and a way back whenever you wander off it.

  • In four languages

    English, French, Spanish and Arabic — the words and the voice, not just the labels.

  • Something to answer

    A few questions as you leave a stop, written from the story you just heard.

  • Or build your own

    Pick the places you actually want and the app works out the order to walk them in.

  • The unglamorous things

    Toilets, pharmacies, cash points and water, without leaving the walk.

  • No signal needed

    Download a walk before you go and it works under a souk roof or on a plane.

  • Picks up where you left off

    Stop for lunch, come back tomorrow, and the walk is exactly where you left it.
