Foz do Douro is where the river meets the Atlantic. The quarter has two faces: old Foz, a knot of narrow streets behind the Passeio Alegre garden, and the seafront, a long promenade past small beaches, the Pergola da Foz and the fort of São João Baptista.
It is one of the city's most sought-after places to live. Families come for the sea air, the schools and the space; the cafés and restaurants along the avenues are full at weekends, and the promenade continues north without a break to the Castelo do Queijo and Matosinhos.
There is no metro in Foz. Bus 500 runs along the river from the centre in about twenty-five minutes, and the historic tram line 1 follows the same bank from the Infante stop to Passeio Alegre. Most residents also keep a car.
