Teleférico de Gaia, Aerial gondola lift in Vila Nova de Gaia, Portugal.
The Teleférico de Gaia carries passengers between the Douro riverside and the upper section of Vila Nova de Gaia in a five-minute journey covering 300 meters.
The construction of this transport system brought a modern connection between the historic port wine cellars and the elevated parts of Vila Nova de Gaia.
This transportation method enables visitors to observe the traditional port wine warehouses and centuries-old architecture along the Douro River from an elevated position.
Tickets cost 9 euros for a return journey, with the cable car operating from 10:00 to 20:00 during summer and shorter hours during winter months.
The cable car system provides direct views of six bridges crossing the Douro River, including the metal arch of Dom Luís I Bridge.
