RIVER AND SEA
Porto is bathed by the Atlantic from Foz to Matosinhos and
by the Douro River, from Freixo to Foz. Which is why you can often find water
related activites in the city.
Freixo Marina and the Ribeira docks welcome recreational and
tourist crafts and from there, to practice water sports or go on a Bridges
Cruise. The Atlantic welcomes us with its pleasant beaches, some of them flying
the Blue Flag, full of terraces and a seafront promenade that is as sought
after, whether for a leisurely walk, running or a pleasant bike ride.
Foz,located in the westernmost part of the city, stands out
for its maritime fortresses, SEA LIFE Porto , Pergola’s Viewpoint, its gardens,
shops and restaurants, as well as the city park –the largest urban park in the
country- and the Transparent Building. AN excellent area for those who appreciate
the contact with nature, a stroll along the Porto waterfront is always a
renewed pleasure.
