Walk Across History: The Luis I Bridge in Porto, Portugal

#europetrip #portugal #porto #solotrip #travel #thingstodo

The Luis I Bridge is more than just a crossing; it’s an emblem of Porto’s charm and a masterpiece of 19th-century engineering. Spanning the Douro River, its two levels offer stunning views of the city’s colorful facades and the wine cellars of Vila Nova de Gaia.

When I visited, I was captivated by the sunset from the upper deck, where pedestrians and trams share the space. The gentle golden hues over the river were mesmerizing. For a different perspective, stroll the lower deck near the riverbank. Visiting this iconic landmark is a must to truly feel the essence of Porto’s vibrant culture and history.
