Towns, stations & useful stops
Douro Valley map
for trip planning.
Understand the Douro from Régua to Pinhão and the Douro Superior, then choose wineries, restaurants and transport that fit one practical route.

Choose stops by logistics.
“Possible” without a car still means checking walking conditions, opening times and any required reservation.

Useful journey times
Keep nearby stops in the same day.
From Porto, allow about 1 hour 15 minutes by car to Régua and 1 hour 40 minutes to Pinhão in normal traffic. The train usually takes about 1 hour 55 minutes to Régua and 2 hours 20 minutes to Pinhão. Roads between valley stops are slower than the distance suggests, so check the live route before leaving.
