Review:
The Dom Luis I Bridge, or Luís I Bridge, is an impressive 172-meter double-deck metal arch bridge that spans the River Douro between the cities of Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia. Designed by Téophile Seyrig, a student of Gustave Eiffel, and completed in 1886, the bridge’s lower deck bears regular traffic, and narrow walkways and the upper floor accommodates one of the city’s metro lines and pedestrians. The bridge is named after the king of Portugal, Luís I, and boasts beautiful views of both Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia, which is famous for its port wine houses.
