If visitors want to enjoy the beauty of Porto on the Douro River, they can climb the bridge and have a panoramic view of its tranquil beauty. Accompanied by the sound of the metal resonance of the tram, the scene of the heavy traffic on the Louis I Bridge after more than a hundred years seems to have never changed.

A vida de viagem: I really love Porto and I really like walking on the Louis I Bridge. It's really special. It's a car down there, it's a iron up there, it's a stone for pedestrians to walk by the railroad.
