Bus 500: The SightSeeing Route
TRANSPORTSkip the expensive tourist buses and take the STCP 500 bus instead. The route connects São Bento Station to Foz do Douro and Matosinhos along the Douro River, offering panoramic views of the river and ocean with a regular public transport ticket. Sit on the left side heading towards Foz for the best views.
Why It Matters
For the price of a standard public transport ticket, you enjoy the same panoramic riverfront views as tourists paying ten times more. It is the most beautiful and budget-friendly way to watch the river meet the sea.
