The Luís I Bridge is absolutely stunning and a must-see in Porto. The views from the top are breathtaking, especially at sunset, overlooking the Douro River and the colorful Ribeira district. Walking across the bridge is an unforgettable experience, with a perfect mix of history, architecture, and scenery. Easy to access, lively atmosphere, and great photo opportunities on both levels. One of the highlights of the city—highly recommended!

I really loved this bridge. It’s amazing to realize that it was opened in 1886, you can truly feel the history when you’re there. It’s a perfect place for a walk, with beautiful views and a great atmosphere. The craftsmanship is flawless. It’s hard to believe that so many years ago such detailed attention was given to every element, the bridge still looks impressive today.

Took the 6 bridges tour. 20€ about 1 hour long. Sat outside in the front of the boat. Awesome ride. No food or drinks offered. Highly recommend for a relaxing way to see both bank of Porto and the bank of Gaia. The six bridges are beautiful. No guide to explain what you're seeing but still very fun.

Amazing view regardless of weather. But just be ready to walk in the crowd. Always busy with tourists and street vendors. Also be careful when train passes by. If you want to get a good picture while on the bridge, look for asian guys with big dslr camera taking pictures of their gf or wife. They’re super skilled and professional photographers😆
