Vila Nova de Gaia, commonly known as Gaia, is a city in northern Portugal on the southern bank of the Douro River, facing Porto across the water.

Gaia is best known for its historic Port wine cellars, where the wine has been stored and aged for centuries. The city is linked to Porto by the iconic Dom Luís I Bridge, one of the best places to enjoy sweeping views over the Douro and the riverside districts.

Beyond the riverfront, Gaia opens onto a long Atlantic coastline with beaches such as Madalena, Miramar and Granja. Other highlights include the Monastery of Serra do Pilar and the picturesque Chapel of Senhor da Pedra, set beside the sea.

With its blend of wine heritage, history, beaches and memorable landscapes, Vila Nova de Gaia is one of northern Portugal's most rewarding destinations.
