Great way to view the sights of both sides of the river from above. Also saves having to walk up to the top! Short queue to get a ticket, then a short wait to get in a car. Doesn't take long but there is plenty to see on the way up. It's fun to go paragliding. They'll take you up to the monastery for a few euros, saving you time and energy, especially if you've already had a good wine tasting. The Gaia Car is a fantastic way to see Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia from above. It also makes it easy to reach the higher parts of the without much effort. The ticket price was fair, and I only waited about five minutes before getting on. Tickets can be conveniently purchased from a vending machine. The entire lasts around 10 minutes and offers wonderful panoramic of the and the Douro River. This was a fun ride. We went up from the river to the top by the upper pont Luis bridge. It wasn’t super long, and to tell you the truth, I don’t mind walking up that way, but it was fun to do and also see the sights along the way. Nice views. It costs 7 eur one way and 10 eur round-trip. Porto card gives a 10% discount, which makes the round really worth-it :) 10 EUR for a round and 7.5EUR for one-way on car. enjoyed the scenic of the city. Good way to get up, a student discount would be appreciated cause the pricing is a little to much. The picture before entering the Gondola makes you believe that you are able to see as far as the harbour, but you don’t! Nice way to get up or down but not necessary. We decided to take the car to the top of Porto. Great and was worth the money for a return trip. The car in Porto was a wonderful experience. The journey is interesting and absolutely worth it, offering beautiful over the city. The staff was extremely friendly and welcoming, which made the visit even more enjoyable. Definitely recommend Great experience! We bought the round-trip ticket (bilhete ida e volta), and the was smooth and enjoyable. The over Gaia and Porto were really beautiful—definitely worth it! Nice short to get an aerial view of the Douro river. I recommend starting from the bottom and riding your way up in order to catch the sunset up top. We went around 7PM on a Friday and there was no ticket line and little to no wait to hop on! Used the car primarily as a fast track to the monastery on a hot day as didn’t fancy an uphill walk in the significant heat. We didn’t need to purchase tickets in advance and managed to buy them quickly, boarding soon after. The lasted a few minutes and offered a good view of Porto. The price was a bit on the steep side though at €7 per adult single or €10 return. We opted for a one way trip. We considered using the service the next day from the top to the bottom but another €7 seemed totally unreasonable. We noticed that most return cars were empty compared with those heading up. Can’t help thinking that the owners are missing a trick here as people are more likely to accept walking down than paying such a high price. A great way to get from the top of the Luis bridge down to the riverside. One way was 7 euros, round was 10 euros. A nice relaxing that offered great panoramic of the and river. They will also take your picture which I highly recommend buying afterwards! The picture was 10 euros and they place it in a booklet with a ton of information! Although it’s no ski lift, it does what it suggests and is a nice little along the river to see the from an aerial view. Recommended.
