The Vizela River Walkways are a linear round-trip route approximately 11.4 km long (5.7 km each way) that allows you to walk along the banks of the Vizela River and Ribeira de Sá. This route is of low difficulty, taking approximately 3h01 to walk, and is suitable for family experiences and also adapted for people with reduced mobility, as there are very few steps along the entire route.

Inaugurated on March 16, 2024, these new walkways begin next to the Roman Bridge, in the Maquias area, and continue under the D. Luís I Bridge, towards the Parque das Termas and the riverside promenade. At the confluence of the Ribeira de Sá with the Vizela River, the path heads south, along the bank of the stream, and enters the parish of Santa Eulália, one of the most interesting parts of the route. The walk ends at the incredible Rompecias Waterfall, also known as the Requeixos Waterfalls.
