WOW is an expansive new cultural district where everyone is welcome. Located in the historic heart of Gaia, a short distance from the centre of Porto, WOW celebrates culture, the values and history of Portugal and its main industries.

Born from renovated old Port wine warehouses, that have given rise to a district containing six museums, different restaurants and bars, shops and a gallery for temporary exhibitions of international importance.

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.
