CoupleVerified booking2 weeks ago5/5In, Porto, we were staying in Gaia. Once we figured out that we had to be in the Porto side of the river, we found the red li e bus stop. We stayed on the bus for the entire ride and saw beautiful old and modern neighborhoods. We also drive along the Atlantic Ocean, beautiful. The six bridges cruis was on time, every 30 minutes, informative and smooth. Today we will try the blue line and will hop on it on the Gaia side of the river.CCesar C
