Get to Peso da Régua
Train - Trains to
Régua depart from both train stations in
Porto:
São Bento or
Campanhã. Travel time is about 2h and there are several trains a day.
Cruise - The nicest and prettiest way to get to Régua is traveling by boat in the Douro river. The landscape is breath taking and there are several cruise packages to choose. Some include the boat ride, with breakfast and lunch on board, a night in a hotel in Régua and the train ride back to Porto. More information can be found
here. The packages are flexible and adaptable (for instance if you want to stay more than one night in Régua, just contact the company). If you choose this option we advise you to not do it the same day as the party.
