Where cruises depart
Boats commonly depart from Ribeira or the Gaia waterfront. Check the named quay and allow extra time: the riverfront is steeply below much of central Porto.

Best time of day
Midday gives strong light on the façades; later departures often feel calmer and can work well before dinner. Weather affects exposed boats, so bring a layer outside summer.
