Matosinhos and Foz do Duoro are two resorts on the Atlantic coast close to Porto (Oporto)

Foz do Douro is directly west of the city at the mouth of the Douro River. Matosinhos, a busy fishing port, is further north. The large Parque de Cidade do Porto is sandwiched between the two places.

Buses and the number 1 tram from the old city of Ribeira run out to Foz do Douro. The Blue Line (Line A of the Porto Metro) runs 16.5 km from Estádio do Dragão to Senhor de Matosinhos. From Sao Bento Station the #500 bus runs to Matosinhos via Foz do Duoro. Bus #501 runs to Matosinhos via Trindade and Casa da Musica from Aliados.

Porto, like the capital Lisbon, is a city of distinct districts - enjoy them all at your leisure.
