Douro Historic Train & Douro Line
Comboio Histórico do Douro
A vintage steam-era heritage train running along the Douro riverside railway, with round trips from Régua to Tua. On board you'll find folk music performances and port tastings.
The Douro Line railway hugs the riverbank and is considered one of Europe's most beautiful rail routes. The 'Douro Historic Train', which runs on weekends in summer and autumn, is pulled by a vintage locomotive and early-20th-century wooden carriages. The round trip from Régua to Tua takes about 3 hours, with a stop at Pinhão for sightseeing. On board there are traditional folk music performances, port wine and desserts. Tickets are pricey and often sell out, so book in advance on the CP website. At other times you can take an ordinary regional train from Régua along the river to Pinhão and Pocinho. The scenery is just as stunning and the fares are cheap. Sit on the right-hand side (the river side).
