    • WOW, a unique cultural district just a stone's throw from the centre of Porto

      A visit to WOW is a must during a stay in Porto. It’s a cultural and entertainment center spread over nearly 55,000 m2. Born as World of Wine, it then became simply WOW, because it is much more than just wine, being impressive and diverse.

       

      Located on the banks of the Douro River in the historic heart of Vila Nova de Gaia, it is housed in the old Port wine warehouses that have been renovated and rehabilitated to house 7 museums, 12 restaurants, bars, shops and even a wine school where you can discover all the secrets of sommeliers. Dynamic and lively, WOW presents many experiences that allow visitors to immerse in Portuguese specialties, local culture and the extraordinary mysteries of wine and chocolate.

      Shows, entertainment, workshops, visits and tastings, you will love discovering WOW at your own pace, just a stone's throw from the centre of Porto.

    If you purchase your tickets online, you don't need to visit the ticket office. Just use the QR code you received via email to enter each museum. It's pointless to visit the ticket office... I purchased a discounted family ticket for two museums online.
