How the day unfolds
From Porto
Meet at Rua de São Filipe Nery for the minibus trip.
In Amarante
The centre, the bridge and the São Gonçalo monastery, on the banks of the Tâmega.
On foot
For the walking tour, meet in front of São Gonçalo church.
Pastries
A tasting of sweet treats with coffee, tea or juice, on the walking tour.
Two ways to discover Amarante
The trip leaves from Porto, includes the minibus and is limited to four people. The walking tour starts in front of São Gonçalo church: it does not include the journey, but suits anyone already staying nearby.
What you see
The bridge and the monastery are both named after São Gonçalo, a saint much revered in Amarante. The town stretches along the Tâmega, a tributary of the Douro, with colourful houses on the banks and narrow lanes.
Amarante within a stay in the Douro
Half a day is enough for the town. For a full day with the river, the trip that goes through Amarante and then Pinhão combines it with a quinta and a cruise.
