Take the train to Valongo (30 min.) and start your tour in the Serra de Valongo nature reserve. Follow the wild and romantic Rio Ferreira through dense forests to the bustling Douro River. Enjoy the scenic ride along the riverbank and then cycle the last 7 km directly back to Porto's old town on the newly built river promenade. We recommend this tour on Sundays to avoid the traffic on the Douro riverbank.
