The most Instagrammable viewpoints in the Douro Valley.

The Douro Valley is magical, both in its culture and its landscape. Everywhere we go, it's almost impossible not to stop, admire the magnificent views, and take a photograph to remember the moment.

It is precisely in this sense that the Feel Discovery It introduces you to some of the most Instagrammable viewpoints in the Douro region, which will surely influence your followers to also visit these idyllic locations.

São Leonardo da Galafura Viewpoint

A “geological poem. Absolute beauty.” This is how the Portuguese writer Miguel Torga described the Alto Douro wine region. Located in Canelas, just 25 minutes from the center of Peso da Régua, the São Leonardo da Galafura viewpoint is one of the places with the most privileged views of this poem that is the Douro River.

Being one of the most popular spots in the region, it's a must-see to appreciate the panoramic views and take some of the most incredible photos in the area.

2. Viewpoint of the Imaginary

This viewpoint, located in Mesão Frio, is an amphitheater overlooking the Douro River! At approximately 145 meters high, it's the ideal spot for all photography enthusiasts.

A blend of the river and the terraced vineyards typical of the region's landscape, and a must-see.

3. São Silvestre do Cimo do Douro Viewpoint

Also in Mesão Frio, you will find the São Silvestre do Cimo do Douro viewpoint. You will need to climb a few kilometers to reach this incredible spot at an altitude of about 530 meters, but we promise it's worth it!

From here you can appreciate the Douro wine-growing landscape, as well as the L-shaped bend in the river. There's also a swing here, the perfect excuse to take a photo and share it with your followers.

4. Ujo Viewpoint

And speaking of breathtaking views, if you're visiting the Douro and Tua region, be sure to include Alijó as one of your stops! It's in this municipality that you'll find one of the most Instagrammable viewpoints: the Ujo viewpoint.

A project designed by architect Henrique Pinto and engineer Filipe Calisto, which has been receiving many visitors over the years since its inauguration.
