Fascinating structure connecting Porto to the other side of the Douro where all the port warehouses are situated. It's looks are explained by the fact that it is believed to have been designed by a student of Gustave Eiffel. The top deck is now reserved...More

You can walk this bridge either on the top level or bottom level. Views from it are amazing. Easy to access and they have an elevator system that costs 2.5€ to take.

The bridge is emblemic of the Porto waterfront - walking across it in the morning and evening is a must!

Beautiful Porto bridges, a must during your visit. Amazing view and atmosphere by the river walk side. You will get the best Porto view from Gaia area by just crossing the bridge.

Well worth the visit from both Ribeira side and south side of the river. A feat of design engineering and construction from 1800s. The Engineer was a friend of Gustave Eiffel.

Very busy with narrow pavements. Lots of teenagers jumping off the bridge into the river but be careful when you take pics...other kids will come asking for money

The climb tour is on a different bridge. Not sure how long it would take but as you have guides and safety ropes etc...I would imagine 2 hours plus...

I would not worry about it! The bridge is quite wide so if you get nervous, you can walk in the middle of the track and not be forced to look down. I have some height issues but no worries for me here. Give it a try. You... More
