I guess it is kind of expensive for such a short ride, but I think it was worth it to ride it once. There wasn't a line or wait at all, so that was nice, as well. I recommend walking across the bridge from porto, enjoying the port wines, etc. then riding this one-way back to the bridge so you don't have to walk uphill.

A convenient link between the high level bridge spanning the river from Porto and the quayside in Vila Nova de Gaia, this gives great views down the river and over the town. It could perhaps be organised a little better, there was one queue to get tickets and another to get on the cable car, but both were quite short and moved quickly. Well worth doing.

Porto Portugal is unique and the Gaia teleférico makes it easier to get from top to button of the hills. This place is lively... plenty of shops and good restaurants Many many more things to do . One needs more than 2 days here Highly recommended Like walking the San Luis Bridge. One can walk it or ride the modern metro or ride the river boats Go to the vineyards and tasty their sweet Porto vino....I liked it a lot Taste the famous Nata pastry.... delicious But go go go You will be glad you did Highly recommended

Amazing views! Wandering around Vila Nova De Gaia and spotted the cable car. It's not very long, but takes you up to the top of the city and has spectacular views over Porto and the river Douro. It was very quiet, so we paid 9 euros each for a return trip and had a car to ourselves. The views were amazing and we stayed up top for about an hour, there are cafes and street sellers and you could carry on walking back across the bridge into Porto, but we decided to come down again and visit the markets and other things in the town. Worth a trip on just for the views.

Worth a ride if you’re trying to go from the river up to the top of Luis I bridge. It cost 7€ a person and they will make you share the carriage with other groups if you join from the riverside area (gets a little crowded). Not a must do, but convenient for traveling.

After a long day of flights and metro rides, the Gaia cable car was the reprieve we were looking for to get us down to the Duoro Riverfront. It is a short ride, maybe 5 minutes at 7€ per person one way and 10€ per person round trip it certainly isn't the most cost-effective way to travel but oh my is it scenic! It is the most relaxing and scenic way to get from the Lewis I Bridge down to Villa Nova de Gaia Douro River front. You will be rewarded with beautiful aerial views of Gaia and Porto.  Look to your right and you will see the Porto riverfront and skyline as well as many Rabelos, boats used to transport wine/port on the riverfront. Look to your left for a yellow building to catch a glimpse of the art installment Half Rabbit, you cannot miss this iconic masterpiece. We did not have a wait, but I can appreciate that I can get busy at peak times.  We were fortunate enough to get a cable car all to ourselves which made the experience all the more memorable.

The cable car is a pleasant way to get to the sunset gardens from the riverside. The trip is quite short but very picturesque. There is a ferry across the river from the Porto side close to the base of the cable car. The car takes you to within a few minutes of the gardens which are a great spot to be in the hour or so before sunset.
