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 was born from renovated old Port wine warehouses, that have given rise to a district containing seven museums, twelve restaurants and bars, shops, and a wine school.

The ideal plan, therefore, is to set aside a whole day to discover WOW. You can choose the museums you prefer, the restaurants you 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.
