#2024Travel Review The beautiful southern Europe, close to the Mediterranean, with warm sunshine and affordable prices, has always been the first choice for Europeans and Americans to go on vacation, especially Spain, Portugal and Spain, which have recently become popular recommended itineraries for Asians to travel in depth in Europe. This trip to Spain specifically went to Porto, a large city in central Portugal, a beautiful river port city. The Douro River and the Dom Luís I Bridge are the most famous attractions in Porto. This winding Douro River flows through the vineyards in central Portugal and is also the main route for transporting oak barrels of red wine. Therefore, you can take pictures of boats and wine barrels on the river. Together with the huge iron bridge and the houses built along the hillside in the old town, it is really a classic southern European painting! The Louis I Iron Bridge has two floors, the lower floor is for cars, while pedestrians and trams go on the upper floor. Pedestrians walk on both sides, and there are tracks in the middle. Due to the large height difference between the bridge deck and the river bank, you can overlook Porto's charming river view when walking on the bridge, which is even more romantic at night! The Douro River runs through the city of Porto. On one side is the old town of Ribeira, which is listed as a World Cultural Heritage by the United Nations and has a cog railway train. On the other side is the new town of Gaia, which is lined with wineries and has a cable car. There are also many markets on holidays, which is perfect for a leisurely walk. #SouthernEuropeFreeTravel #PortugalTravel #Porto #DuroRiver #LuisIronBridge
