Just as Almada complements Lisbon, on the other side of the river, Gaia complements Porto, with the advantage that the river is narrower, easier to cross on foot, thus allowing for greater connection.
In addition, this side of the river offers a collection of ideal observation points to see Porto’s riverside beauty. So, both cities form an inseparable tourist unit.
Highlights in Gaia:
The many cellars, the riverside promenade, the Serra do Pilar monastery, Senhor da Pedra and others.
