WOW Porto - The Cultural District

The good part: the ensemble of buildings is very well rebuilt and restored, it’s really great that it was saved and preserved for visitors. The view is nice and the restaurants seem to have good offers for their guests. The bad part: tickets for 1 experience/museum cost 20€ per person, 2 experiences cost 34€. The wine used for the very basic wine tasting at the end of the Wine experience was really young and not interesting (cca. 0,05 cl white wine, 0,05 cl red wine, 0,05 cl port wine). The ugly: The historical experience about the city of Porto is quite superficial and almost doesn’t mention the colonial era of the country. It perpetuates colonial and imperial narratives and does not reflect newer perspectives on this period. The exhibition is very new, so this was disappointing for me. Dear WOW crew, you can do better and show the history of Porto in a more modern and adequate way.

A really well thought out and comprehensive museum which guides you through the world of wine in all its aspects. The wine tasting at the end was an added bonus and the staff were very knowledgeable and friendly. The shop is great too. I bought the day ticket which gives you access to seven nearby and very diverse museums - including those focussed on rose wine, the history of cork and chocolate! The ticket is great value and you could easily spend a day taking in all the sites. Highly recommended!

Visited the World of Wine exhibit and was blown away by the level of detail and how informative this museum was. Very engaging and interactive, learning so much about everything wine - from history to growing to production and tasting. Could easily spend 2 hours here alone. Enjoyed a port tonic at one of the on site restaurants to finish and was the perfect way to end the experience over sunset.

A very god experience. Buy your tickets online and get 20 % discount. Most of the museums are great. Don't do them all in one day. My feet are hurting and my head is used. I will rate every museum I visited separately. As a whole, the WOW is realy great. A few of the museums are a bit boring to me, and one is realy silly, but super fun. Only "bad" thing is the tourist prices. Remember you get discount on everything if you buy the right ticket.

It was amazing experience we had there , every thing have different feelings , we talk a beautiful photos there and enjoying every moment , if there's same ideas amazing like it I will be there too , thanks for this activity 😀

Nice place, there are multiple interactive museums that you can explore the whole family. The place is very clean and new. We have a chance to visit wine and cork museums. There are plenty of things to learn and play inside that will let you say WOW before leaving. The view is also nice here, if you are not into museums. You can also have a meal or a coffee here as well.

Really great facility, nicely appointed and styled to mix modernity and history. The views of the north side of the city from the front and top terraces are also wonderful. Nice dining facilities on-site too.
