Peso da Régua → Porto

This is the fastest and simplest option.

Sightseeing Transfer

Add one or both optional sightseeing stops:

Palace of Mateus / Vila Real

Amarante

The complete sightseeing itinerary can follow:

Peso da Régua → Palace of Mateus / Vila Real → Amarante → Porto

You can choose:

• Palace of Mateus only
• Amarante only
• Palace of Mateus + Amarante
• Direct transfer with no sightseeing

Make the Journey Part of Your Trip

Leaving the Douro Valley does not mean the experience has to end when you check out of your hotel.

With optional sightseeing, your journey towards Porto can combine:

• Douro landscapes
• Baroque architecture
• Historic gardens
• Traditional northern Portuguese towns
• River scenery
• Local gastronomy
• Porto as your final destination

Instead of treating the transfer as lost travel time, you can use the journey to discover more of northern Portugal.

Which Sightseeing Stops Can Be Combined?

Both stops combine particularly well.

Palace of Mateus + Amarante
