The city
What to expect from Vila Nova de Gaia.
City on the south bank of the Douro, opposite Porto, where Port wine has been aged in cellars for centuries. At the Cais de Gaia are the cellars, the rabelo boats and the WOW, a museum quarter. Above, the Mosteiro da Serra do Pilar and the Jardim do Morro offer the best view of Porto, and the cable car descends to the river. On the coast to the south is the Capela do Senhor da Pedra, perched on a rock on the beach.
