Car Hire Peso Da Regua - Mini guide to Peso Da Regua

When visiting Northern Portugal, southwest of the Marao Mountain, you will undoubtedly find yourself exploring Peso Da Regua, or as it is commonly known, Regua. This area is both a town and a municipality that is represented by a population of seventeen thousand, nine hundred and eighty seven inhabitants. Peso Da Regua is a very important Port wine centre, both located directly on the River Duoro and smothered in breathtaking vineyards. One of the more sought after crafts of the area are the woven wooden baskets of harvest, and another would be the custom tin labels for your wine bottle engraved by local craftsmen for your delight.

Accessible by both car hire as well as train, this town is very closely neighboured by Vila Real. Via Real is another gem of the Duoro Valley and one where you may see something that is startlingly familiar. Don’t be alarmed when you lay eyes on the Solar de Mateus four kilometres outside of Vila Real, it is not déjŕ vu, you are more likely remembering it from the picture on the label of the Mateus Rose wine bottles. This house dating back to the 1740s offers a café, a lovely garden, as well as thirty minute tours of the building and grounds. This is a pleasant place to experience on your visit to Peso Da Regua.

Peso Da Regua hosts several significant architectural sites, including many Roman ruins, and more contemporary pieces such as an 18th century mother church, and the 20th century Casa do Duoro. You do not have to look very far to be captivated, but if you would like to appreciate this municipality from another angle, then you can join other tourists in boats along the River Duoro to visit the locks of the two dams of Regua.
