Serralves: A must see in Porto

Serralves Foundation has long been one of Porto’s main attractions for both locals and visitors, praised for its museum, villa, beautiful 18-hectare park, auditorium and library. Close to the upscale Foz do Douro neighbourhood, Serralves is a must-visit for families and lovers of art and nature.

Start your visit at the contemporary art museum, designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Álvaro Siza Vieira. Take in the fascinating building and its ever-changing exhibitions, which ensure there is always something new to explore.

Wander through the Serralves park, decorated with sculptures from the foundation’s collection, or cross the elevated treetop walkway for a unique perspective. Afterwards, step back in time at Villa Serralves, a beautifully preserved mansion from the 1930s and a prime example of Art Deco architecture. 

Every June, Serralves comes alive with Serralves em Festa, a 50-hour marathon of concerts, art installations and much more. The 2024 edition runs from May 31st to June 2nd.
