   When does the Douro enter Portugal?

Except for Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia at the river mouth, the only population centres of any note are Foz do Tua, Pinhão and Peso da Régua.

   • Take a River Cruise. The Douro river flows for over 500 miles from north-central Spain all the way to the Atlantic Ocean, and is the lifeblood of the region.
   • Rent a Kayak. If group tours aren’t your thing, but you’d still like to get out on the water, consider renting a kayak instead. Many of the quintas (country estates) offer kayaks to guests who stay with them, typically for use on smaller, calmer tributaries of the Douro rather than the main river itself.
   • Enjoy Stunning Scenery From the Train. The train line from Porto through the Douro Valley and on to Spain was an engineering masterpiece when it opened over 130 years ago.
   • Savor a Port Wine Tasting. No trip to the Douro Valley is complete without tasting the drink that makes the area famous. Fortified port wine has been made there since the 17th century, and dozens of producers offer tasting experiences of one sort or another.
