About The Port Of Regua
Set along the Douro River at the western edge of the Port wine region, Régua has served as a trading and transport hub since the 18th century, when barrels of wine were shipped downriver toward Porto. The town's riverside quays and sloping streets sit beneath the Serra do Marão mountains, and the surrounding hillsides are layered with terraced vineyards and small stone farmhouses that define the valley's landscape.
Most river vessels dock within easy reach of the town center, making it simple to explore on foot or join excursions into the wider region. Nearby, the Baroque hill town of Lamego draws visitors for its hilltop shrine and long stone staircase, while river cruises through the surrounding valley reveal some of Portugal's most celebrated wine country scenery.

How our planners would spend a day in Regua.
Climb to the Shrine of Lamego
A short drive from the quay leads to this Baroque hilltop sanctuary, famed for its zigzagging staircase of nearly 700 steps lined with azulejo tiles and statues. Descend on foot for sweeping views over the town below.
Tour a Douro Quinta
Visit a working Port wine estate on the terraced hillsides above town for a tasting and cellar walk through the vines. Many quintas sit within a short drive of the riverfront and welcome guests for an hour or two.
Stroll the Riverside Quays
Wander the stone quays where wine barrels once loaded onto rabelo boats, then wander uphill through Régua's older streets for a glimpse of everyday town life.
