In Douro Valley there are plenty of things to do and visit: a private boat journey in the calm waters of Douro River while you are tasting a Port wine and admiring the breathtaking terraced vineyards of the Douro steep slopes; a visit to a traditional wine producing farm, where you can learn about the main themes related to wine culture and production and, at the end, taste the most varied local wines and olive oils; enjoy a sunny sunset and dive in one of the many river beaches that will enchant you with its natural calm and beauty; cross the county routes, to visit the charming local villages, belvederes, churches and pillars or to discover the traditional pedestrian itineraries of the region, such as the Olive route, the Almond tree route or the castles route, among others; discover the endless traces and  legacies of our ancestors, with numerous archaeological monuments, from Prehistory to the time of Romans; appreciate the local cuisine, based on a diversity of flavors and recipes that, together with the hospitality of local people, will give you an unique experience, whether in a more upscale ambience of a gourmet restaurant or in the more rustic setting of a tradition Douro Valley restaurant.
