WOW is a vast entertainment district where wine is the main thread running through the entire experience. Located in the historic heart of Vila Nova de Gaia, just a few minutes from Porto’s city centre, WOW values the history, traditions and industries that have shaped the country.

Born from the restoration of former Port wine cellars, WOW has become a true entertainment district, bringing together six museums, twelve restaurants and bars, shops, a temporary exhibitions gallery, and a dynamic cultural programme. More than just a place to visit, WOW is a destination to experience throughout an entire day, filled with flavours, discoveries, memorable moments, and unique experiences. Come for the views, stay for the fun.

At the heart of the district is a large open-air square with panoramic views overlooking the River Douro and Porto’s historic skyline, making it the perfect place to savour the city.

The ideal plan, therefore, is to set aside a whole day to discover WOW. Each visitor can choose the museums they prefer, the restaurants they want to try and complete it with a wine or chocolate workshop. Those who stay until the evening have the reward of watching the daily video mapping show in the central square. In addition, WOW works as a cultural catalyst. It’s worth following the agenda because there are always good reasons to come back.
