Six Majestic Bridges Over the Douro River

Scenic view of the Douro River with the Infante D. Henrique, Maria Pia, and São João bridges from the upper deck of the Dom Luís I Bridge, Porto, Portugal

Porto’s six bridges across the Douro River offer a fascinating journey through nearly 150 years of architecture and engineering. From the historic iron arches of Maria Pia and Dom Luís I to the modern concrete bridges of São João, Freixo, and Infante D. Henrique, each bridge reflects a different period in the growth of Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia.
