Peso da Régua
The Heart of the Douro Wine Region

Peso da Régua

Discover Peso da Régua, one of the principal towns of Portugal's Douro wine region.

Located beside the Douro River, Régua has played an important role in the development, transport and commercial history of Douro and Port wine.

The town combines riverside scenery, viewpoints, wine-related heritage and easy access to the surrounding vineyard landscapes that define the Douro Valley.

Peso da Régua is particularly attractive for travellers interested in wine culture, Douro history and river landscapes.

Palace of Mateus / Vila Real
Baroque Elegance & Historic Gardens

Palace of Mateus / Vila Real

The property is known for its elegant Baroque architecture, formal gardens and distinctive setting surrounded by the landscapes of Trás-os-Montes and the Douro hinterland.

Its architectural composition, gardens and historic atmosphere provide a very different experience from the vineyard scenery of the Douro Valley.

The Palace of Mateus is particularly attractive for travellers interested in Portuguese architecture, historic estates, gardens and photography.

Entrance tickets and attraction admission are not included unless specifically arranged.

The historic centre combines traditional Portuguese streets, riverfront scenery, churches, cafés and architecture surrounding the iconic São Gonçalo Bridge.

Its compact centre and attractive riverside setting make Amarante particularly suitable for a relaxed walk, photography, coffee or a traditional meal.

The town is also strongly connected with the gastronomy and culture of northern Portugal.
