Parque de Serralves

posted a SFW pic at the front for those with families or people looking over their shoulders, haha. it's a lovely green place with integrated contemporary art for both nature and art lovers, the museum is very original and the restrooms look like they were made for royalty. i'll leave the other contemporary art off the photos so that it can come as a surprise. i enjoyed walking here, climbing is essential though so wheelchair folks may need to stay off some of the places only accessible by steps.

We had a fantastic time at this park — it’s truly a hidden gem for families! The highlight was the beautiful walkway above the trees, offering stunning views and a peaceful atmosphere. Our kids absolutely loved the small farm area where they got to see horses, cows, and adorable little pigs up close. Everything was clean, safe, and thoughtfully designed for all ages. It’s the perfect place to enjoy nature, relax, and let the kids explore. Highly recommended for a full day of family fun! 🌳🐴🐄🐷

It is a breathtaking place, combining natural beauty with cultural richness. The vast gardens are perfectly maintained, offering peaceful walks among lush greenery. Inside, the Serralves Museum showcases impressive contemporary art in a stunning architectural setting. A must-visit for art and nature lovers alike!"

Addition to the fantastic contemporary art gallery, there is also a park and a villa that is attached to the property. It’s a pleasant walk with a sprinkle of art installations and a fun tree top walkways! The villa and the fountains also give major Wes Anderson vibes and is a wonder place to take pictures. It’s a no brainer to visit if you’re coming to the art gallery!

A big and very well kept park with several eye catching sculptures, a small rose garden, an arboretum with a tree walk structure that is very accessible. The garden is part of the museum visit, but definitely check the villa in the park that houses some modern art. It is a spectacular art deco masterpiece.

If you like contemporary art, you will love this museum. The garden is lovely as is the original part of the museum, which is a 1920s residence that was turned into galleries.

Loved the park, you can spend hours simply wondering through greenery, admire art installation and have a relaxing treetop walk. There are many hidden gems throughout your walk. Highly recommended.

We enjoyed 3 hours waundering a bit aimlessly, and found it easy to navigate around. Loved the contrast between areas from tree top views to ponds, lake walk, farm, herb garden, woods, to the contemporary, formal garden fountains in the middle. Wish the levadas were running and the herbs had name plates, but all gorg. Really appreciated the cool sculptures, interspersed with nature. The little tea room with the wisteria perugula was a pleasant surprise and well priced. We just paid for the park ticket and it was worth it. Felt a real sense of serenity! Thank you to this unique Park and wonderful Porto- you always amaze us.

What a delicious place! Plan to spend a ton of time, between the museum, the house, the garden, the tree walks, the full garden paths you can easily spend half a day, and that would be rushing. My favorite, and I wish I spent more time, was the garden and the outdoor paths. Plan to get lost, explore, be inspired, think, question, and just be purely in love with this experience. I can't recommend enough.

Serralves Park is a gorgeous spot in Porto that is a wonderful way to spend a few hours decompressing and strolling around. The Casa de Serralves looks honestly looks like a Barbie house, in its simple Art Deco design. There are a series of large garden fountains that connect down the middle of the front courtyard. The grounds around the Casa are also very architectural and designed in maze patterns, structural elements, and completely matching the flow and feel of the house. A forest of trees and paths also surround the park, so you can do a lot of walking and marveling at things as you pass. The interior museum (no photos, unfortunately) features exhibits focused on contemporary art. It houses works from well known International artists as well as local Portuguese artists. There are several art pieces scattered around the park and grounds as well. My favorite was "Plantoir" by Claes Oldenburg. It's a giant red trowel that stands almost 25 feet tall and weighs over 2,000 pounds. It just makes you feel so small when you're standing there next to it! No matter if you're a fan of art, nature, or history - Serralves fits the ticket.

Walking about 15-20 minutes from the coast, there's only one entrance in the northwest corner of the park. When you walk through the gate, signs will direct you where to get tickets. (And you'll need a ticket.) 12€ gets you into the modern art museum and one other attraction. 20€ let's you explore the entire park, including the Art Deco casa, the treetop walk, trails, gardens, and sculpture garden. With the exception of the museum, cinema house, and one other gallery by the farm, everything is seen from the outside. There's free Wi-Fi throughout. You'll need to log in each time you access it. I spent three hours here and felt like I experienced it

A full cultural experience here in Porto. Many different exhibitions within the museum proper. And the sculptures and the gardens are beautifully curated. Don't miss the Art Deco house. And the tree top walkway is wonderful. Stop and listen to all of the birds.
