Porto's Best Museums

Porto’s museum scene spans centuries of history, from the 14th-century Casa do Infante to the contemporary World of Wine cultural district. This collection includes the National Museum Soares dos Reis, Portugal's oldest national museum, and the neoclassical Palácio da Bolsa with its Moorish-style Arab Room. Specialized institutions explore the city's maritime legacy at the World of Discoveries, the evolution of transport at the Tram Museum, and visual arts at the Portuguese Photography Centre, housed within a former 18th-century prison.
