What to avoid
The wet cobbles of the Ribeira and the steep ramps to the Dom Luís I bridge are slippery: a Segway or bike needs care. With children or in the rain, prefer the tuk-tuk or walking.
Our pick
The 2-hour small-group Segway for a quick first visit; otherwise the tuk-tuk (see the offer below). For a full walking route, see Porto in one day.
