The Luís I Bridge is one of Porto’s most iconic landmarks, spanning the Douro River and linking the historic center of Porto with Vila Nova de Gaia. Completed in 1886, it was designed by Théophile Seyrig, a disciple of Gustave Eiffel, and is celebrated for its striking double-deck iron arch. The upper deck carries the metro and offers sweeping views of the city’s terracotta rooftops, while the lower deck serves cars and pedestrians.
