Head across the river to WOW Porto, a cluster of museums and cellar venues in Vila Nova de Gaia. Learn how port wine shaped the region, then finish with a tasting of white, red and port.
Full description
WOW Porto is a cultural complex in Vila Nova de Gaia, built within former wine cellars and bringing together several museums, restaurants and bars. The exhibitions cover the story of port wine and the Porto region across the ages, and the self-guided visit ends with a tasting of white, red and port wine.
Reviewers say it is larger than expected, which suits a rainy afternoon, though one museum, the Planet Cork exhibition, has closed. Opening hours stretch late into the night, making it a flexible stop for an afternoon or evening.

Worth the ticket to get you into all the different museums: Pink Palace, Chocolate Museum, Wine Experience, History Museum, and Art of Drinking. The ticket costs €30 at time of writing and lasted for two days - so we were able to come back to complete the museum visits on another day. We enjoyed the interactive nature…
