The guided ride begins along the Douro, heading west toward the river mouth. The path passes historic facades, traditional rabelo boats, and the point where the river meets the Atlantic, before reaching the Jardim do Passeio Alegre.
A relaxed break in one of Porto's oldest riverside gardens provides an opportunity for a coffee and a rest. Your guide shares background on the garden's history and its role in the city's social life.
The route continues north along the Atlantic coastline, passing through the Cantareira fishing community and into Parque da Cidade do Porto before arriving at Matosinhos beach. This stretch showcases the full contrast between urban greenery and open ocean.
