Portugal Another Lovely Trip to Portugal! Vila Nova de Gaia Vila Nova de Gaia Teleférico de Gaia
Teleférico de Gaia
Vila Nova de Gaia being on the opposite side of the Douro River, it's worth visiting even for taking a good glimpse of Porto!
I walked across out of curiosity and for tasting the famous Port Wine...
So, as I walked across to Vila Nova de Gaia (often called simply "Gaia" by the Portuguese) - I took a 5 EUR (return trip) cable car "hover flight" all the way down to the port.
Then it was later time for a... Port... Wine... Port Wine.
Porto and the Douro Valley are famous for their wines, but actually a plethora of famous wine cellars and sellers are found across the river, in Gaia.
I decided to take the cable car not only for the experience, but also because by foot it would have taken ages to get down to the port.
Photos about my cable car/aerial tramway trip are below...
