Let’s do the math:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- 6 bridges cruise in Porto<\/a>: 15\u20ac \/ person<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Hop On Hop Off bus tour<\/a>: 25\u20ac \/ person<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Wine tasting at Cal\u00e9m’s port wine lodge<\/a>: 20\u20ac \/ person<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
The total value of these three activities is 60\u20ac \/ person. Therefore, when you buy the Porto Sightseeing combo ticket<\/a><\/a>, that costs 46\u20ac \/ person, you are saving 14\u20ac!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The bus tours in Porto are worth it if you:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- … have little time in the city. This way you’ll get an idea of the main attractions in Porto.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- … have a few days in Porto, but would like to have a first look before deciding which monuments to visit.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- … are coming to Porto with kids: it’s always a joy to climb to the second floor of the bus to see the world from up there!<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- … would like to visit places further away from the city center, like the beaches in Matosinhos and the Port wine cellars in Gaia.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
The bus tours in Porto are also a good option if it’s raining – even though I suggest you to check out my ideas on what to do in Winter in Porto<\/a> \ud83d\ude09

<\/p>\n\n\n\nPorto Sightseeing Hop On Hop Off bus tour<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Single ticket OR Combo ticket?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
This is the Hop On Hop Off Bus tour in Porto that I like the most because with a single ticket you get to do three must do’s in Porto: the bus tour, the famous 6 bridges cruise in the Douro river (a pleasurable 50 minutes boat ride) and a guided visit & wine tasting to a Port wine lodge.
Let’s do the math: the Classic Hop On Hop Off bus tour<\/a> costs 25\u20ac, the river cruise costs 15\u20ac and a guided visit & wine tasting at a Port wine lodge costs around 20 \/ 25\u20ac. So in total, you would pay around 60\u20ac for these three activities.
Therefore, it really pays off to get the Porto Sightseeing Hop On Hop Off bus tour<\/a> for 46\u20ac, as you will be saving at least 15\u20ac \/ person. It is a lot of money!<\/p>\n\n\n\nItineraries of the Hop On Hop Off bus tour in Porto<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The first itinerary is called Historical Porto and it goes through downtown Porto to Foz neighborhood (by the riverside), and then to the Port wine lodges in Gaia. It is really nice for those of you who would like to get a view over the most important monuments in Porto, but also check out the Port wine cellars across the river.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For shop lovers it is also a good bus tour, as one of the stops is in front of El Corte Ingl\u00e8s<\/a>, a massive Spanish department store that sells pretty much everything, from clothing to food and souvenirs.
