National Museum Soares dos Reis

The collection is very thorough and has a lot to see. The museum is big. It does a great job of presenting painting in and around Porto from the beginning of the 19th century up to 1950. And then there's miscaleneus things like part of the royal collection, especially ceramics and everyday items. The museum is a nice casual visit. My experience was very calm, the staff is kind and helpful.

Really interesting and historical journey through Portuguese art from the 18th/19th century. The gallery has paintings, sculpture, jewellery, religious artifacts and all manner of items over 3 floors. Some stunning paintings and astounding jewellery the likes I have not seen before. I was very impressed. My partner and I sent a good 2 hours here mea dering and learning. There is also a small garden you could sit in if you decided to take your own lunch. The staff here are also wonderful and welcoming. At 12 euros for both of us to visit it was well worth it.

Wonderful museum offering a plethora of Portuguese art pieces. Some were truly breathtaking and inspiring.

Central and not badly priced. Large museum with extensive collection. Slightly disjointed displays but lots of great modern art. Good place to spend some time!

If you are in Porto for a few days, you can omit this museum. A few beautiful statues and paintings. Nice japanese stand. Incredible stone staircase and facade. Rustic and quiet inner courtyard that misses a cafe and a gardener.

The National Museum Soares dos Reis is an absolute must-visit! This beautiful space spans three floors of incredible exhibitions, from stunning paintings to captivating photographs. But the true crown jewel of the museum is Soares' sculpture of "The Exiled"—a breathtaking masterpiece that exudes emotion and depth. The detail and expression in this work alone are worth the visit. The atmosphere throughout the museum is peaceful and inspiring, making it easy to lose yourself in the art.

rich selection of portuguese art across the centuries, including pre Roman jewelry, ceramics and other art forms. west of downtown porto, easy to get to.

Absolute gem of a place, we got there early bought tickets (can't buy online)for 10am session. They have their own tour guides and the grouos are managed like clockwork so that when you arrive in 'jewelbox' room it's not full of other people. Our guide was entertaining and informative., some of the rooms are incredible.
