Two scheduled river crossings link Porto with Vila Nova de Gaia across the Douro: one between Ribeira and the Gaia quay, the other, nearer the river mouth, between Cais do Ouro and Afurada. Both belong to the Andante network, so a ticket valid for the zone works on board; you can also buy a single or a same-day return from the crew.

Weekday and weekend timetables differ on both, and the last boats run later on Fridays and Saturdays. The pages give the published frequency and the date of the latest check.
