If you want to taste and/or buy Porto wine, or searching for a wide view of Porto, head to Gaia.

Satisfied your purposes, the historic Porto is just there, across the old D. Luis bridge, built by Eiffel, as you may guess just by looking at it.

Does it belong to Porto or Gaia?

I mean: what is “the other side of the river”?

Until I decide it, I better mention the bridge in both pages. If you read about it in Porto’s page just skip this. Or… go back there, and find how it looks more complex after a careful and detailed wine tasting.

​And… don’t drive back. Porto, in the other side, is at a safe walking distance.

Gaia is not a touristy destination, but no visit to Porto would make sense without crossing the bridge.

They should call it “Gaia wine”, instead of “Port wine”. All the great producers line the river in Gaia waterfront. Which one should you choose?

Well, they all offer from the common Port to the excellent one, so that’s up to you, and if you are extremely exquisite and want to identify the differences, no problem, two months of intensive daily tasting should be enough. ​
