ADVENTURE TOURISM IN PORTO

In 1963 when the Arrábida Bridge was built it was the largest concrete arch in the world. Since 2016 this arch is the only one in Europe open to visitors. For a unique experience and view over the river, climb 65 metres to the top in perfect safety. Porto Bridge Climb takes you through 262 nerve-wracking steps up and then down what is the city’s only official 20th-century National Monument. The tour is guided and comes complete with safety equipment (with instructions). The climb is available for anyone over the age of twelve in groups of up to 13 people. The bridge is a pleasant 20-minute walk west along the river from Ribeira. | 500 | Line 1.

For those who enjoy scuba diving, this iconic wreck is a must if you're staying in the area. At a depth of 30 metres, this relic from WWII is an intriguing snapshot from history. The submarine's crew scuttle the u-boat on the 3rd of June 1945 following Germanys capitulation. You can still see the tower, the pressure hull, consisting of welded metal plates approximately 22mm thick, the combat periscope with the shining stainless steel and the hatch without cover. The reck has become a diverse habitat for sea life. The ship's hull is covered with tiny white anemones (Sargatia Elegans), pouts in the thousands, curious octopuses, lobsters and the beautiful pink anemone community. The tour is operated by Portugal Dive, who have a team of certified diving instructors and not only be your guide but also take care of all details. This experience is for advanced divers only. If you are an open-water diver/level 1, there are other options available. The tour departs from the Marina de Leça, although hotel pick-up is offered.
