Hidden among the old Port wine cellars in Porto's Vila Nova de Gaia, merely steps away from the Douro River, is WOW Porto, the city’s new cultural district. Without a doubt, entering WOW Porto, with its tasteful assortment of museum experiences, restaurants, bars, shops, and cafes, truly feels like stepping into a World of Wine.

Lovers of wine and culture will be spoiled for choice at WOW Porto. This refined museum quarter immerses you in Porto’s history as Portugal’s wine capital. You can learn more about world-famous Port wine and how it's made at The Wine Experience, or go one step further and attend a practical workshop or tasting at the WOW Wine School.

In addition to the wine-themed experiences, you can also find out why Portugal is the world’s largest producer of cork at Planet Cork or discover the city’s fashion and textile industry at the Porto Fashion & Fabric Museum. If you prefer to dive deeper into the history of Porto as a city, the Porto Region Across The Ages museum will give you more insight.

WOW Porto is open daily and is free to enter, though you’ll need to pay to access the museums and exhibits. During or after your visit, you can take in breathtaking, panoramic views of the city from the complex's upper levels.
