WOW is an expansive cultural district where the wine is king. Located in the historic heart of Gaia, a short distance from the centre of Porto, WOW celebrates culture, the values and history of Portugal.

Born from renovated old Port wine warehouses, that have given rise to a district containing seven museums, twelve restaurants and bars, shops, a wine school 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. First, visit The Wine Experience, considered the best wine museum in the world. Come see for yourself! Then choose which restaurants you want to try and complete it with a wine or chocolate workshop. And if you stay until the evening, you will have the reward of watching the daily video mapping show in the central square.
