Barca d'Alva

So much beauty in one county! The beautiful village of Torre de Moncorvo is located in the district of Bragança and has several attractions that are well worth visiting.

So much beauty in one county: Torre de Moncorvo

Already considered by many as the capital of the Romanesque, this municipality in the Douro is a veritable wonder of attractions, offering a huge variety in terms of culture, cuisine, and nature.

Tabuaço is a wonder of attractions

First of all, the Douro region has, unconditionally, the same charm and is one of the great wonders of our country, regardless of the season.

For example, in winter, temperatures and the number of tourists decrease, and there is a change in colors and landscapes. However, the characteristic beauty of the Douro does not change and, at any time of the year, the wonder is immense.

The Douro Valley by car: a day trip and drive along the N222 road

The N222 is one of the most scenic roads in Portugal and follows the majestic Douro River as it meanders through the beautiful scenery of the region.

The majority of tourists explore the Douro Valley by river cruise; these boat tours may be relaxing, but they only show a tiny portion of this wonderful region. With a car, you can travel to remote viewpoints, discover picturesque valleys and visit traditional villages.

This article will provide a guide to exploring the Alto Douro as a day trip with the use of a car. The majority of the route follows the N222, but it also includes the little-visited Douro Superior region near the Valeira dam. Related articles: Guide to the Douro - The Douro by train - Porto day trips

A car allows you to discover remote areas, far away from other tourists.

A suggested driving tour of the Alto Douro region

The suggested route begins in the town of Peso da Régua and the informative Museu do Douro before following the N222 (and Douro River) to the town of Pinhão. Pinhão is extremely pretty, set amidst terraced vineyards and sitting on the banks of the Douro River, and is a popular destination for short (1-2hour) river cruises.

From Pinhão, the N322 heads north and winds up hills lined with the terraced vineyards to the charming village of Vale de Mendiz. After passing through Alijó, the route enters the Parque Natural Do Vale do Tua, and the stunning scenery surrounding the Albufeira de Foz Tua lake.

The road then drops down to the Douro River and the village of Tua after passing the newly constructed Tua dam. Tua is another pretty riverside village and a fantastic location for hiking, and lunch.

From Tua, the N214 climbs the steep hills behind the village and then enters the little-visited Douro Superior region around the Valeira dam (Barragem da Valeira). Above the dam is a wonderful viewpoint, the São Salvador do Mundo.

The final section follows the N222 eastwards through the vineyards and terraced hills back to Peso da Régua. If you still have the energy or time you could visit the Sao Leonardo de Galafura , which is considered as the best viewpoint of the Douro.

Below is an interactive map displaying the route, and the most scenic sections of the drive are highlighted in red.

Key to sights along the route 1) Peso da Régua 2) Pinhão 3) Vale de Mendiz 4) São Mamede de Ribatua 5) Albufeira de Foz Tua (lake) 6) Tua 7) Linhares 8) Barragem da Valeira dam 9) Sao Leonardo de Galafura viewpoint (optional) The best viewpoints along the route: 1st Sao Leonardo de Galafura (9) , 2nd São Salvador do Mundo, 3rd Vale de Mendiz, 4th Miradouro Ilha do Tua Note: This route is explained in-depth, further in this article.

You can join a boat tour at Pinhão

Tours of the Douro Valley An organised tour led by an experienced guide is often the best way to get the most from the Douro region. There are many excellent tours that combine wine tasting, a boat cruise and sightseeing in a single day. Some of the best tours offered by GetYourGuide include: • A highly regarded full-day tour, with over 7,000 positive reviews! • A river cruise from Porto to Pinhão, complete with breakfast and dinner • A wine tour of the Douro featuring two tastings and a river cruise • A small-group tour of the Douro region

Practicalities for exploring the Douro as a driving day trip

As the complete route is over 120km and takes around seven hours to fully see, we suggest either spending the night in Peso da Régua or the pretty town of Lamego (just to the south of Peso da Régua). Another option is to share the driving between two people.

All of the roads shown in this tour are fully tarmacked, and wide enough for two cars. The route narrows along the M633, which leads down to the Valeira dam, but is still fine for cars or motorbikes.

The main draw of the Douro region are the spectacular hills, valleys and views, so expect many tight turns, switchbacks and generally demanding driving. If the total length is too long, the day trip could end in Tua or Pinhão. Pinhão is the prettiest town along the route and is the highlight of the day.

The steep hills of the Douro mean that the grapes have to be picked by hand, and is the only major grape-producing region to do this

The Douro drive from Porto

If you are driving from Porto, we suggest heading to Peso da Régua via the A4 expressway and then heading south on the A24, which crosses the high bridge at Peso da Régua. For a day trip from Porto aim for at least visiting Pinhão.

To reduce the length of the day trip, Peso da Régua could be skipped (the only unique attraction is the Museu do Douro) and the Douro Superior section could be removed. Also, a fast way to return to Porto after visiting Tua, is to join the IC5 which then connects to the A4 near Pópulo.

Guide to the sections along the driving route

Peso da régua.

Peso da Régua was traditional the hub for transporting goods up and down the Douro River, and today it is the primary departure location for cruises along the Douro.

Peso da Régua has a pretty waterfront and contains the excellent Museu do Douro, but there are much more scenic towns further up the Douro.

The three bridges of Peso da Régua, with the A24 bridge towering above the valley

N222 from Peso da Régua to Pinhão

This section of the road follows the river and passes the Barragem da Régua dam. There are many wonderful views across the terraced vineyards on the southern side of the river, and there are multiple places to stop. While along this section you could pull into the Quinta do Tedo to see the vineyards and taste their Port wines - tickets here €12

Luxurious cruise ships are frequently see sailing along the Douro, but a car is much better for the intrepid traveller

Pinhão is the quintessential Douro valley town and has a much more relaxed atmosphere than Peso da Régua. This delightful town is surrounded by vineyard terraces and sits on a major bend in the river.

There is pleasant riverside walk along the western banks of the Douro or for a challenging uphill hike there is the Torguiano de São Cristovão viewpoint, 1.7km from the town centre. For something more relaxing, there are short boat cruises of 1-2hours, and this section of the Douro is one of the prettiest.

Pinhão is the heart of port wine production (known as the Cima Corgo) and there are many fine Quintas (farms) offering port tasting, and include the Quinta do Bomfim, the Quinta da Foz and the Quinta das Carvalhas.

The Ponte do Pinhão bridge leading into the town

Vale de Mendiz

The drive north from Pinhão to Vale de Mendiz (along N322) is one of the most scenic sections of the route, but unfortunately, there are not many places to stop along the winding road.

This region provides the classic images of the Douro region, with ancient vineyards covering every section of the steep hills, and perched at the centre along a high ridge is the pretty village of Vale de Mendiz.

Advice: The Miradouro de Vale de Mendiz viewpoint is at one of the highest points of the region but is just beyond the most scenic part of the road. The section through Granja and Alijó is nothing special, so just pass through as quickly as possible.

The village of Vale de Mendiz

The Miradouro de Vale de Mendiz viewpoint

São Mamede de Riba Tua and the Albufeira de Foz Tua

Just beyond the village of São Mamede de Riba is the Parque Natural Do Vale do Tua and the Albufeira de Foz Tua, the largest lake of the Alto Douro. The lake is actually a reservoir and was created in 2016 with the completion of the Tua dam. Insight: This area offers some of the most spectacular landscapes.

The Albufeira de Foz Tua lake

The Tua dam and the main bridge into Tua

Tua is a small village in the upper Douro. This is a quiet and tranquil village (once away from the train station complex) is popular for hiking, and there is a pretty riverside footpath that leads to the Tua dam. The N214 as it snakes out of Tua provides more breath-taking scenery and views such as from the Miradouro de Parambos.

The Linha do Douro railway crosses the Tua River, as it joins the Douro

The Miradouro de Parambos overlooking Tua lake

The section between Linhares and the Valeira dam becomes more rugged and wild. The forests and exposed hills dotted boulders, more clearly resemble the Douro region before the intense grape growing that begun in the Roman era.

The road drops down to cross the Valeira dam and then enters the Douro Superior region, which is much hotter and drier than the Cima Corgo.

The Barragem da Valeira and the natural vegetation over the Douro’s schist hills

N222 back to Peso da Régua

The final section re-joins the N222 and heads westwards back to Peso da Régua. This region passes through the Cima Corgo vineyard growing region, and is another incredibly scenic road that meanders around hills lined with the terraced vineyards. There is an outstanding viewpoint at the Miradouro da Abelheira.

Vineyards cover every available space

Sao Leonardo de Galafura viewpoint

Probably by this stage of the day, you are exhausted, but if you still have energy, there is an amazing viewpoint at Sao Leonardo de Galafura . This summit at 640m provides some of the finest views of the Douro valley.

MEET AND TASTE DOURO WITH US

Full-day or half-day tours to the Alto Douro Vinhateiro, a UNESCO heritage site, which Miguel Torga called "an excess of nature".

This river Douro, of wine and vineyards, which flows through tight valleys and steep slopes is for many the Portuguese "Grand Canyon".

Private or small group excursions, which will ensure you enjoy a unique landscape, sometimes side by side with the river, other times between terraces and vineyards.

We offer the opportunity to discover and taste the Douro in several ways.

In a private vehicle with a driver and expert guide, without having to worry about anything. You only have to enjoy the ride and delight in the stories told about the region, while traveling along the famous National Road 222, considered one of the most beautiful in the world!

You can, if you prefer, take advantage and travel along one of the most beautiful railway lines in Portugal, aboard the Miradouro Train, which departs every day from the city of Porto to the village of Pocinho, in the municipality of Vila Nova de Foz Côa, and returns. We can customize your train ride so you can stop wherever you like, where we'll be waiting to guide you between farms, gastronomy and wine, of course. We take you to discover picturesque villages and viewpoints that express the beauty and ingenuity of the people of the Douro.

To relax, you can enjoy a cruise on the Douro, on a rabelo boat, departing from Pinhão, or anywhere else. Just ask and we'll provide!

A Volga river cruise is more than a geographical voyage; it’s also a journey through Russia’s rich and captivating history. No other experience takes you so completely to another place and time. The Volga is Europe’s longest and largest river; it meanders through the stories of Ivan the Terrible and his rise to power, the two historic ‘Greats’ Peter and Catherine, and then on into today. It’s a unique opportunity to see modern Russia in the context of its intriguing history, ably assisted by friendly and professional academics and tour guides. A Volga Dream Russian river tour promises to leave you with an unforgettable afterglow of fond memories.

Moscow to St. Petersburg River Cruise

Moscow and St. Petersburg are Russia’s best-known cities, but the towns of Russia’s historic Golden Ring are delightful too. The luxurious Volga Dream offers a unique opportunity to visit these Russian gems by sailing gently along the Volga River on an unforgettable cruising experience. In small, exclusive groups you’ll enjoy preferential access to some of Russia’s most significant cultural sites.

Moscow to Astrakhan River Cruise

Your River Cruise on the luxurious MS Volga Dream takes you from Moscow along Russia’s grand Volga River to the legend that is Volgograd (formerly Stalingrad) and Astrakhan on the Caspian Sea. Along the way, you’ll discover the treasures of Yaroslavl, the oldest city on the Volga, medieval Nizhniy Novgorod and beautiful Kazan, the ancient Tatar capital. We plan our tour carefully to combine the very best of Moscow with a world-class Volga River cruise.

Discover Russia with MS Volga Dream - Click-through map

We love hearing from guests about their time in Russia and one comment often hear is how surprised people are by the Russian capital. We can’t say for certain what people expected but we do know that it’s always far removed from what they imagined! It’s been called a modern metropolis, a cosmopolitan city, an historic gem, an architectural treasure and a cultural powerhouse, among other descriptions. Majestic Moscow has always surprised our guests and left them with lasting and fond memories.

Russia’s famous Golden Ring is an archipelago of historic towns surrounding Moscow. Uglich is one of the oldest and was founded under Igor, the last Varangian prince. It once resisted the Mongol invasion and its ancient walls saw the grisly murder of young Dmitri, son of Ivan the Terrible. The impressive Church of St. Dmitri on the Blood, with its classic onion domes and blood red walls, is a fine example of classic Russian architecture. The tour ends with an enchanting choral concert.

This, the oldest city on the Volga River, and now a UNESCO World Heritage site, boasts a wealth of ancient orthodox treasures. The impressive Transfiguration of the Savior, adorned with murals depicting St. John’s apocalyptic visions can be seen in the Spassky Monastery. The Church of St. Elijah the Prophet is decorated with an awe-inspiring selection of rich frescoes. For a real taste of pre-revolutionary Russia, visitors are entertained by a costumed reception at the Governor’s House.

Close to the shores of White Lake once were the ‘tsar’s fishing grounds’. It lies in a place so serene that ancient monks chose to build no fewer than three holy sites here, including the Ferapontov Monastery. Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site, its chapels boast magnificent frescoes by Dionysius, one of Russia’s most renowned icon painters. The Kirillo-Belozersky Monastery was a refuge for many nobles during tumultuous times and later a fortress that successfully repelled invading armies.

The Karelia region is a vast and naturally beautiful wilderness that spreads all the way from St. Petersburg to the Arctic Circle. The glorious island village of Kizhi consists almost entirely of the traditionally styled wooden buildings of ‘Old Russia’. Among them is the famous Transfiguration Church built in 1714. Remarkably, and in testament to the craftsmen of the time, not a single nail was used in its construction! Kizhi is one of the favorite stops on the river cruise to St. Petersburg.

A typical rural hamlet brought to life by warm and welcoming villagers. Volga Dream guests are invited into local homes to enjoy classic Russian fare, tea with jam and ‘pirozhki’ (pies). Enthusiastic hosts share Russian traditions and the appeal of village life while proudly showing off their scrupulously kept homes and kitchen gardens. The tour continues with a brief bus ride to see a unique World War II memorial and then, for a real glimpse of Russian life, a visit to a local primary school.

Nizhny Novgorod

This was once a wealthy city thanks to its proximity to rich eastern trading routes. During the Soviet era, the city was closed to outsiders because of its military importance. It’s also where many political prisoners were sent to live out their days in exile. The 16th-century Kremlin ramparts offer spectacular views and the city is known for its elaborately decorated churches. For Volga Dream cruise guests, the highlight of the day is an evening folk concert performed by local children.

Sailing along the Volga river, the riverbank gradually ceases to be dominated by Orthodox churches. Instead, beautiful mosques appear as the river crosses into Tatarstan where the first stop is scenic Kazan, the region’s capital. Inside the white walls of the citadel, the famous Kul Sharif mosque and the old Cathedral of Peter and Paul stand side-by-side symbolizing the two faiths’ long and peaceful coexistence in the region. A concert of traditional Tatar music ends the Volga Dream tour in Kazan.

Passing the Zhigulevskie Mountains offers wonderful views from the sundeck before touring the city. One of the key attractions is the fascinating Space Museum, which offers a revealing glimpse of how the Soviet Union pursued its ambitious journey to the cosmos. The town is also noted for its beautiful esplanade, perfect for a relaxed stroll beside the Volga river. This in turn leads to the Samara State Art Museum. Founded in 1897, it is home to a collection of more than 16,000 works of art.

This city is best known for its close associations with cosmonaut, Yuri Gagarin. The Russian hero who achieved worldwide fame as the first man in space lived and studied here. Saratov used to be home to a large German community, a heritage that can still be seen in the local architecture. The Volga Dream tour visits the Radishchev State Art Museum, the first picture gallery in Russia outside Moscow and St. Petersburg.

Originally called Tsaritsyn, the city was renamed Stalingrad from 1925 to 1961 in honor of the USSR’s leader. During World War II, the city’s residents put up a heroic defense, repelling an advancing Nazi invasion. The battle for Stalingrad has gone down in history as a pivotal moment in the bloody conflict on the eastern front. The most ferocious and deadly fighting took place on Mamayev Hill, where an imposing memorial now stands close to the excellent Battle of Stalingrad Panorama Museum.

Saint Petersburg

If Moscow surprises, then St Petersburg delights. Peter the Great founded the city to showcase Russia’s newfound enlightenment. He wanted to show the modern world a cultured and advanced society. In short, he built the city to impress and in that he succeeded splendidly! The striking buildings were designed by some of the finest architects Europe had to offer and even now, the ‘Venice of the North’ never fails to enchant with its spectacular buildings and impressive canal network. It is a city of true grandeur.

Cocktails with the Captain

Commanding any ship is a complex role that calls for a long list of skills. Captains know their vessels inside out as well as well as the routes they sail and when things don’t go to plan, they have to make instant decisions. Above all though, the most important part of the job, underpinning everything they do, is to keep the ship and everyone aboard safe. The Captain’s cocktail party is a great and a wonderful opportunity for passengers and crew to get acquainted as the gets underway.

Matryoshka doll painting

There is nothing more typically Russian than a Matryoshka. It embodies the fact that there’s always something deeper to be found in every aspect of Russian life. Learning the traditional designs and techniques used to decorate these iconic dolls offers a pleasant diversion and some cathartic creativity!

Superb Service & Dining

Our restaurant serves the highest standard of international cuisine, freshly made by our Cordon Bleu Chef. Choose either a sumptuous buffet or set menu for lunch while dinner is always four or five courses with full service. High praise for the exquisite quality of meals is yet another constantly recurring feature in feedback from our guests.

Meet the Professor

From the Mongol hordes to Soviet times, Russia’s history is, like all of Europe’s, a complex web of political intrigue, war and peace, trade and treaties, as well as heroes and villains. Academics devote whole lifetimes to studying Russia’s long past and one of them presents a series of lectures shedding light on everything from Gorbachev to Chekhov, Khrushchev to Ivan the Terrible and of course, contemporary Russia. Our Professor is on board throughout the river cruise for informal conversation.

Beginner’s Russian

The Russian language can be rather beautiful and poetic and we know that many seasoned travelers enjoy trying their hand at different languages. Our onboard teachers provide an introduction to the riches of Russian, so guests can try out a few useful words and phrases on real Russians during the exciting river tours from Moscow to St. Petersburg or from Moscow to Volgograd!

Russian tea tasting

The drink we tend to associate with Russia is vodka, but tea, in fact, is the much more universal beverage of choice throughout the country. Guests will get acquainted with the Russian tea etiquette, a fundamental component of the country's social culture, and enjoy the traditional tea ceremony while cruising from St. Petersburg to Moscow or taking a Grand Volga river tour.

Russian Dinner & Vodka Tasting

All our dining is international but for Russian Dining night, the Chef includes a selection of traditional Russian dishes: Chicken Kiev, Kulebyaka and no Russian table is complete without Borsch. To add to the ‘Taste of Russia’ optional Russian dress, or at least a touch of Russian style, is provided along with enthusiastic help from our staff!

Russian Cooking Class

A plate of pelmeni might not look like much to the untrained eye, but it forms the heart of Russian cuisine and culture. Basically, it's a type of dumpling: small portions of meat and onion wrapped in a thin sheet of unleavened dough and boiled, a little like ravioli. Guests can join a Russian cooking class onboard the MS Volga Dream to learn how to cook this delicious Russian dish.

Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninov Piano Recital

Some of the greatest classical music ever written comes from Russia. It’s hard to imagine a more fitting stage for a virtuoso solo recital by our resident concert pianist than the mighty Volga or a better backdrop than the heart of Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninov’s own serene homeland.
