- careyontravelsBoulder, Colorado85 contributionsBeautiful walking paths near the coast in Foz do DouroVisited the Promenade in Foz do Douro a few times. The first was a part of walking the Portuguese Camino Coastal Route. Beautiful spot looking out over the ocean and beaches. Definitely worth a day trip from Porto to Foz do Douro to explore the area.Visited April 2024Traveled soloWritten May 6, 2024
- Thomas VOakland, California19,096 contributionsWalk along the River to the OceanThis is where the old street car drops you at the end of the line. You will be on a sidewalk, a promenade, that goes along the river, at the end where the ocean starts. It's a very nice walk with some food along the way, some drinks, and a lot of pretty views.Visited October 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten November 4, 2024
- Maria Elisa54 contributionsA lovely meetingThe foz of the Douro is a must-see tour. The encounter between river and sea is calm, the promenade that accompanies the river is inviting for a long walk. Near the foz is the Passeio Alegre, a well-kept, blooming garden with benches to rest and enjoy the landscape. It was easy to park the car, which is difficult in Porto, and there was no muvuca all the way. Unfortunately we took a rain during the walk, but it was worth it, anyway. We were assisted by the guide Hugo of the company Walkborder, who showed us the main attractions of the shore.Visited September 2024Traveled with friendsWritten November 9, 2024

We came to this area out of the Porto city center in the late afternoon and walked all along the riverfront to the oceanfront and beaches. The coastline here is amazing. The beaches aren’t huge but are nice enough to play or lounge in. We stayed the the area, ate dinner and then watched the sunset into the sea.

We took a trip to Promenade Foz da Douro on a mild sunny January day. There were hardly any people just some tourists, runners and dog walkers. The walk out to the mouth of the Douro river was a great way see the calm and the rough side. We then also walked along the beachfront, enjoying the ocean view. We had a delicious and filling lunch at Praia da Luz. We then jumped onto the 500 bus (right outside the restaurant) and enjoyed the scenic trip back to Sao Bento, competed in about 30 minutes.

Really nice seaside area for a stroll. My wife and I walked down from Matisinhos to Foz do Douro. It was a great hour+ long walk, very scenic, beautiful waterfront stroll and a number of points of interest along the way. Highly recommend this walk if you have any spare time in Porto

A nice and quiet part of Porto, away from the crowds. It was lovely to stop on the promenade and have a drink

We went for a very long walk through the Foz area after we left the trolley car. This is one of the areas along the sea and was picturesue.

We took the bus from central Porto to the mouth of the Douro in Foz. Then we walked back towards the city along the boardwalk on the beach. Very nice views. Lots of places for coffee or lunch. We then went to Serravales Foundation. Saw the museum and the gardens. Really wonderful. World class in every respect. We liked our walk in Foz so much we went back another day. A very relaxing and scenic walk.
