The ferry boat "Flor do Gás" makes a crossing from the pier of Afurada (South bank of Douro River - V. N. Gaia) to the pier of Lordelo (North bank of Douro River - Porto).
Formerly, a vessel served fishermen and fisherwomen, but today it is the locals that give life to the ferry boat. A use of this alternative means of transport has the cost of one euro per trip. Bikes are allowed in the boat.
In the other side (Porto) you can find a tram and a bus line that goes to beaches and City center in a few minutes.
