Curious about the other side of the Douro River? Rightly so! Vila Nova de Gaia has plenty of stories and local wonders to be discovered – by you. This trail’s creator, and world travel blogger, Amanda, explored the city in search of the most stunning panoramic views, curious street art, authentic local gastronomy and, of course, Port wine. You’ll find it all by solving fun location-based riddles. Along the way, you’ll tune into the city and experience its unique charm first-hand.
This playful walk across Vila Nova de Gaia’s historic centre sharpens your senses and encourages you to appreciate the most wonderful – and often hidden – details around you. Whether you know Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia or just start exploring here, this experience gives you a perspective on discovery that will inspire your curiosity wherever you go next. This trail is also available in Portuguese.

We know you’ll love our experiences, but if this is your first, rest assured - you can solve up to three riddles and still get a full refund, or in case of the Wonder Walks - all subscription plans come with one week free trial. See our T&Cs here.
