About 10 minutes walk from Casa do Passeio. This bridge was designed by a disciple of Gustave Eiffel and its arch is still today the biggest iron arch in the world. It connects Porto to Gaia. It's nice to cross by foot and get to the Port wine cellars, on the river front, and enjoy the view over old Porto.
