Museums and Galleries of Porto

Porto’s cultural landscape spans from the neoclassical Palácio da Bolsa and the Gothic Church of São Francisco to contemporary art at the Serralves Museum. The city's history is preserved in the 14th-century Casa do Infante and the National Museum Soares dos Reis. Across the Douro in Vila Nova de Gaia, historic port wine cellars like Ferreira and Taylor’s offer insights into centuries-old production. Niche collections include the Porto Tram Museum, the Portuguese Photography Centre housed in a former prison, and the puppet collection at Museu das Marionetas.
