The 31 best shopping and stores in Vila Nova de Gaia

A pleasant store selling various Portuguese brands' products. You can find a wide range of items from clothing to home decor, souvenirs to seeds. Generally, the upper floor is dedicated to souvenirs and tourist items. The design and atmosphere of the store are lovely. You can wander around without being bothered by any staff. The staff at the checkout counter are polite and friendly. However, I should mention that the prices of some items are a bit high. We bought a few packets of seeds, but later saw the same brand's products at a much cheaper price elsewhere, which was disappointing.

This was the best souvenir shop I went in during my trip to Porto! Lovely local-made products in Portuguese packaging. Great for sardines, soaps, small trinkets, etc. Not kitschy or cheaply made like some of the tourist shops.

Hidden behind the long queue for Livaria Lello, it is a spot easily neglected if you walk past. Definitely a place worth spending more time in than their neighbour bookshop. Filled with interesting tools, household objects and souvenirs, you could easily pick up a few items home with you. The shop itself is also very pretty.

Just like the nearby bookshop, this shop has great photo opportunities because of its interior but this one is free

Very cute place and shop. There is a large range of products: soap, different objects, wine, food..

Very stylishly laid out store with lots of pretty items. Not your typical souvenir shop! It's a little on the pricey side but it's a really nice place and the stuff is obviously all well made and designed. Location is excellent. The staircase is quite grand and worth a look just for that!

Beautifull portuguese products. Ideal to get some souvenir.

One of the oldest cellar buildings b the area with a pre-book self-guided audio tour and wine tasting(3 kinds). Helpful history although a big part of it was for this particular venue. The wine tasting area is in a beautiful court yard with great decoration and large area inside and outside. They rai out of snack by 4pm with only a few sweets and cheese and olive 🫒 left. Cheese was good but Oliver was not fresh and super salty and is barely edible. Need some improvement there for sure. Not the cheapest cellar and there is a bit of a hill to walk up after the bridge but still enjoyable and only need to book ahead day in advance which is nice ☺️

This was a fantastic port cellar to visit! The tour itself is very informative and has a lot of historical artifacts, videos, and of course the barrels of port in the giant warehouse. The tour is all self guided at your pace, and gives a complete history of the company and also the port making process. The best part is of course the tasting at the end in Taylor’s beautiful garden. The ports we tried were all top notch (especially the 10 year) and the server was very knowledgeable about the styles. Most definitely worth a special visit if you’re in Porto.

1) I liked the port wine. 2) If you visit, I think the tour including a tasting is a better deal than just the tasting, with tasting sets starting at 22 EUR. 3) Be aware that while the garden is nice, you won’t have much of a view of Porto. 4) Stay away from the bread basket — at 8 EUR for six tiny pieces of mediocre bread, I thought this was a real rip-off that left a bitter taste on the whole experience

We enjoyed visiting this wine cellar and recommend this place to other visitors. The tour is informative and shares context on the wine making process and some history of the founders of this cellar. You get the chance to pass by some real big barrels which was cool. The highlight of the tour was the tasting. You taste the wines in the rooftop garden and if you go to the balcony, you will have a nice view of porto. There is a shop that you can purchase wines. The price was fair for the experience (~€25).

We had such a great tour of the port, followed by a tasting that was absolutely delicious. Marri (forgive me if I’m spelling her name wrong!) was our waitress she was so sweet, spoke perfect English, and really took the time to help us pair our port with food. The pairings were spot-on and made the experience even better. The grounds are stunning, covered in grapevines everywhere you really feel like you’re in the heart of a winery. They also have a charming little shop where you can purchase their port and even their own house olive oil. Another bonus they’re open on Mondays, when many of the other ports in the area are closed. We actually stumbled upon this place, and I’m so glad we did!

If you love port, or think you might, and can splurge a bit for the tawny master class, I highly recommend doing so. While I did it, my wife did the audioguide tour and we both enjoyed ourselves immensely. We didn't do all the bodegas but of the ones we did, this was our favorite.

Port wine lover. This is one of the stops you have to add to your ToGo list. Tried their port tasting with our 1st taste of Iberian Ham. What a pairing and was well served by super friendly staff who has shown his interest introducing each and every port characteristics. Wonderful experience. Thank You!

A great spot to try different local food and beer. The atmosphere is festive, but due to the crowd, it can feel a bit stuffy. On the right side, you’ll find a stand with delicious fresh fruit and juices run by two lovely older ladies.

The food was excellent, reasonable, and very tasty. Such a lively local food court with freshly-made food. There are tables inside and outside. You order, pay, and take your food to your seats. Very good place to have lunch.

Mercado Beira Rio is Porto’s lively food playground—packed with fresh flavors and local vibes. Perfect for a quick, honest bite. A true hidden gem.

Best octopus we got in Portugal! There is a seafood stall with incredible quality product at a really cheap prices, also loved the ones with fresh fruits. Trully recommended if you want to grab a fee bites and try different things.

Amazing atmosphere and service. Food was INCREDIBLE, came very fast and the price is unbeatable. Definitely worth the visit if you like Asian food!

I recently visited Beira Rio and had a really nice experience overall. I ordered a pizza, and it turned out to be delicious — freshly made, well-cooked, and served in a good portion size, definitely worth the price. What I really appreciated was the variety of vegetarian options available on the menu, which is quite impressive and makes it a great place for vegetarians as well. It’s not always easy to find restaurants with such a balanced mix of options, so that was definitely a plus point. The location of Beira Rio adds to its charm. It’s beautifully situated, offering a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere that makes it a perfect spot to unwind and enjoy good food. The ambiance is modern yet cozy, making it ideal for both casual meals and small gatherings. Another thing I noticed and liked was that the staff and people around communicate well in English, which makes it comfortable and convenient, especially for visitors. Overall, Beira Rio is a great place for food lovers, especially those who enjoy quality vegetarian options and a peaceful dining environment. With good food, friendly service, and a wonderful location, it’s definitely a place I’d love to visit again.

We had a very good octopus salad and glass of vino verde. We sat outside at the picnic tables. There will be smokers outside but the inside was packed!

This place is huge. It has something for everyone. I will definitely go back. Make sure you have a few hours. It has a large variety of different stores, very clean & worth going to. Enjoy!!

This place needs more signs, especially to know where the supermarket, the coffee store are. I wasted a lot of time because of that in my first visit yesterday. I left the store without buying because I couldn’t find the things I wanted . I only found the starbucks. Please improve the signs make it more visu and easy to find.

the service at the gift wrapping area and the counter is quite nice, you can find everything here. Especially big collection of toys

Big shopping centre! Honestly just went there to eat at the top floor and the service was really mid. The first waiter we had was straight up rude. Thanks God someone else took over. The food was good tho. I wouldn't recommend the lemonade, was just too bitter

If you don't have time and don't like to waste your time shopping,you should go to this mall . I love shopping there very focused on couple of brands with best collections.wach floor is for something like men/women, home،kids

Excellent hands Free service , variety of different brands and options, and Staff are helpful and welcoming. Amazing 10% discount, tax free service and free transport for international shoppers. great food court full of fresh and tasty food. You should definitely try Caixa’s roast Pig.

Certainly! Here’s a more polished and professional version of your text: ⸻ Nice department store offering a wide variety of high-quality fashion products to suit all ages and preferences. In addition to fashion, it features an excellent selection of home décor items, a well-stocked supermarket, and a range of convenient services including a hair salon, flower shop, pet store, and car service garage. Conveniently located and easily accessible by public transportation.

Great wines, nice staff, great authentic location. We didn't ask for a wine tour because we didn't see the point. The 20 year old Port wine we had was a dream. The second and third glass was no different. And yes, it was expensive. If low price is not important then don't come here, come to one of the tourist traps by the water. This is not it!

Nonexistent customer service. We have booked a dinner with wine tasting. Later it turned out that we wouldn't be able to come on the day we booked, so I left them a message on the number that was on the reservation asking if we could move the visit to another day. Nobody answered the message. The next day I called that number and was told to call another number. I called and the person said he didn't speak English and would ask his colleague to call. He never called. I then called their third number, where we were told to "google the right number because we don't handle tasting reservations". We lost 112 euros.

I didn't have a lot of time but really enjoyed the tour and tasting. The best place to buy Fonseca wine and goodies.

Henrique made the experience unforgettable. He was absolutely fantastic!! Knowledgeable, friendly, and full of passion for Fonseca’s history and wines. He brought every glass to life with stories about the Douro Valley and the art of Port making. Our favorite was the 20-Year-Old Tawny — smooth, nutty, perfectly balanced, and simply beautiful. The setting, the people, and the wines made this an experience I’ll never forget. Obrigada, Fonseca! 🍷❤️

The fado part was absolutely fantastic, the three musicians were so passionate and talented. Unfortunately the cellar tour was terrible - the young female guide for our English group spoke very unclearly (not helped by other language groups being around us), rushed through the content extremely quickly, only for us to then wait in the tasting room for a long time for the Portuguese group to arrive. She could definitely have gone through the guided tour properly - the male guide with the Portuguese group did and he seemed so much more enthusiastic.

I booked wine tasting with dinner - prepaid. They cancelled it a few days before my reservation - because of a private event in the same day. Since my days are planned - because of short term visit- I coulnd’t reschedule it for another day. Instead, I asked recommandation for similar experince Ididn’t get any reply after that. Not professional neither customer oriented. Don’t trust the reservation even if you pay months ago.

We booked the tour, wine tasting and fado performance. Our guide Henrique was enthusiastic and presented us with such in-depth knowledge on Fonseca’s port wines. The fado performers gave us a beautiful and touching show. The price is great for this experience!

Just across the Library Lello. On the expensive side, but fast service and the food was delicious. I suggest the Cod in the oven with cream and cheese + the special hot-dog. My Rose Sangria tasted really good and you knew there was alcohol in it. Great in general.

Not sure what the wait staff is doing but they don't ever show up at the table

You really think the glass of brut for 6 euros should look like this? It's not even half of it. Be careful not to pay the suggested service fee for 10% if you were waiting for as long as we were.

Food and drinks were great. Service was a bit slow, but friendly.

So-so bar, just wish it was busier. Cheap drinks and modern facility

We were received with a grunt when asked if we were only drinking (even though it's a beer place), the waiter didn't ask one of the group what he wanted and barely communicated. The service is not worth the price.

Worst service in whole Porto. Incredible slow waiter. Even after complaint no improvement.

It’s a huge market that has everything from meat, fish, wine, and souvenirs to artist market. It’s directly connected to the train station so you can access it quite easily. It definitely has an element of tourist trap with certain dishes and goods, but I also saw plenty of locals simply grocery shopping. I personally loved the seafood and the ham. They also have insanely cheap glasses of wine so be careful if you’re going to be drinking! But it’s a must visit place for me in Porto

Mercado do Bolhão is one of the highlights of Porto and a must-visit if you want to experience the city’s flavours in one place. The market is spotless, beautifully restored, and full of life. From the moment you step inside, you are surrounded by stalls offering fresh fish, fragrant olives, local olive oils, fresh fruit, fruit juices, meats, and brilliantly packed sardines that make perfect gifts. We purchased some olives and a bottle of white wine and enjoyed them right there in the market. Walking around with a glass of crisp wine while tasting the olives and chatting with vendors felt both authentic and relaxing. The fishmongers and food stalls are a delight to explore, and you will also find stores selling handicrafts, so it really has a little bit of everything. What stood out most to me was the balance between tradition and modern comfort. You get the energy of a traditional Portuguese market, but in a clean, organised, and welcoming space. Whether you come to taste, shop, or just soak in the atmosphere, Mercado do Bolhão is worth your time.

Lovely indoor market with a wide range of produce aimed mainly at tourists. Fabulous to be able to buy a glass of wine etc in a real glass and wander around the stalls. Places to sit and eat the wide range of foods available. Stall holders were very pleasant and helpful. Good range of products that are hard to source at home and generally good vfm. What was disappointing was that none of the foods on sale were out for you to sample. It’s the first market I have visited where this was the case. Usually there are plates with little samples on so you can taste before you buy. Very clean and everything very well presented.

This is an amazing market set over two levels of a square building with an open entrée. There are two galleries that run around the edges which have shops selling jewelry, ceramics, handbags, and other examples of Portuguese cross friendship. The bottom level is dedicated to foods, beverages, flowers, and other produce, including meats, fish, fruits, and vegetables. This is a fantastic building and worthy of a visit.

Sa e some time for a visit to this market. Stunning array of cured meets and seafood ready for tasting. Wine of course too. I had some of the largest oysters to eat. Easy to find and right off from the metro.

This is a must visit place in Porto. A large indoor marketplace with restaurants housed in a renovated old building. There is a lot to see and to taste. Vegetables, fruit and fresh juice, fresh fish, famous canned sardines, special coffee, olive oil and olives, flowers, wines including port of course, perfumes and hand-made souvenirs to buy. Often, you can meet a performing artist (or a group).

​This is a great local market featuring fresh seafood and diverse offerings. Just be aware that the operating hours for the restaurants on the top floor are separate from the main market's closing time.

Mostly locals so most menu weren’t in English. Thankful for pictures and most service stuff speaks English. We enjoyed the Bifana and suckling piglet, both served with chips, and of course coffee with 2 chocolate balls!

An amazing food court for whenever you want to eat. The selection of food here is amazing with an adjoining super market too. If you're not sure of what to eat, you will find something here. We liked the local bakery goods of the pasta del nata, had francesinha, enjoyed the cod as well as porto wine. Honestly a great place to eat different food.

Spacious and cozy gourmet-style food court. Great quality at fair prices. Beautiful architecture and lots of natural light.

This place is absolutely amazing. Grab a drink, wine or a beer and go around with your drink and select your food, then find a very nice spot to enjoy, and enjoy you will

It’s a little out from where the usual tourists spots are, but if you make it here, you will be rewarded. Great ambience, great foods, really local and fairly priced.

Holly Sunday Not busy, super nice food court you won't be too worry about our "bags". Lots of varieties of food like pasta, beer, local, tapas, sushi, seafood, etc... Only one counter offer seafood with oyster, king prawns, etc... looks great. Personally, I like Coffee Point Coffee coz it has lots of flavors with ice also.

It’s a less touristy version of Time Out Market, the atmosphere is modern and with lots more locals here. Here, you’ll find an endless parade of authentic Portuguese dishes, from flaky pastries and chocolate cakes to perfectly poured port, beers, and savoury petiscos. We dove straight into Mariscaria’s seafood platter: tender crab claws, plump shrimp, mussels in a fragrant broth, and that irresistible bread-and-crab-dip couvert. Every bite was fresh, briny, and generously portioned—yet the prices stayed very reasonable. Whether your group can’t agree on appetizers or everyone’s craving something different, this is the perfect spot to graze, share, and discover new favourites together. Visited on a Monday at 1pm, seems to be a fave lunch spot amongst office workers.

My favorite spot to stop in for a bite. This place is on the main road but feels off the beaten path. The food is delicious and the staff are very friendly. Easy stop for meat, cheese and a port. They have various menu options, focused on Portuguese food and drinks.

A perfect place to stop and enjoy both food and ambiance. They offer a wide selection of fresh and delicious products, and everything feels authentic and high quality. Definitely worth a visit!

Everything about Mercearia das Flores was fantastic! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt warm and inviting. The food was delicious and clearly made with great care and fresh ingredients. The staff were super friendly and attentive, making the whole experience even better. It’s the perfect place to enjoy authentic local flavors in a cozy setting. I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Porto!

We were strolling down from Sao Bento and wanted a quick snack before our river cruise. Stumbled upon Merceraria Flores, what luck! We had a great stop off, with lovely wine cheese and charcuterie. The gentleman who took care of us ( perhaps the owner? ) was so kind and lovely with our kids. Reminiscing about drinking milk as. A child when our daughter wanted a glass of cold milk - off menu of course - he was very accommodating. And make excellent wine suggestions for the adults. Awesome, welcoming place where you can tell there is so much joy in meeting new people, creating connections and sharing their love of Porto and Portugal. It's a must visit!

We only stopped here for coffee and tea but apparently they do lunches and dinners as well as selling some can foods, cheese and other package foods. It’s a cute and cool concept store. The lady is friendly and warm. Location is great as in the shopping center and very busy.

Great place! The ladies are super nice and welcoming, they recommended 2 traditional dishes to try and both were amazing! It’s located in the middle of the Flores street, which is a must to visit. If you sit outside with the sun, is a pedestrian street so you can enjoy the day. All products were high quality. the food was amazingly good! Ask for the olive bread!

It was a bit hard to find healthy and delicious places to eat in Porto, but this place rocked! The service was very nice. I sat outside with my dog and they were super sweet and attentive. The tuna salad was perfect! Light and fresh. I had a mushroom pastry that I give it a 10! and I had this gluten free, low sugar carrot coconut cake that was amazing. Very different than a regular carrot cake from the US. This was light and healthy. They also sell organic products.

Hidden away from the Douro River in the labyrinth of tiny streets in Vila Nova de Gaia is a gem of a tasting room. This family owned and operated port lodge is both spacious and intimate. They offer an array of tasting options, either solo or with food pairings. The nice thing was their portfolio wines and ports were also available by the glass. Every staff member was friendly and extremely knowledgeable about all their wines. Plus, their shop has great prices for their products should you want to buy on the spot or ship home.

Miguel was a fantastic host, explaining in great detail the flavours and history of each wine and also shared with us the history of their company and the owners roles. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would definitely return. The wines were gorgeous and the Port was perfectly sweet and well paired with the provided snacks.

An industrial-chic yet cozy tasting room with incredibly friendly staff! In addition to Port wine, they craft and serve their own gin, which is absolutely delicious and we purchased these unique bottles as gifts. We found this hidden gem tucked away off the main streets while taking a break from exploring. The staff went above and beyond, even sharing a personal guide with their favorite local spots- such a thoughtful and memorable touch.

Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Delicious port and cheese pairing. Highly recommend a visit when in Porto. We also had a bottle of wine and charcuterie board which were fantastic. Do it.

My partner and I did a tasting and it was such a nice experience. There is a bar ok the ground floor, with a separate tasting room on the 1st floor. You can book online but we just walked it and they squeezed us in. It turned out to be just my partner and I with the sommelier, and we learned so much . Delicious ports - we tried 4 samples for €16 so great value. You can sample ports paired with cheese which I heard is an excellent option (as long as you don’t arrive full)

a Portuguese owned and run port winery. it feels less touristy and commercial than the main ones but the quality of their drop is top notch. reasonably priced tasting paddles. highly recommended

There are many places to taste Port wine in Porto but this one is truly a hidden gem. It is a bit off the typical tourist paths and that is exactly its charm. You will not find crowds of tourists here and yet the quality of the wines and the prices are still excellent.

The Pink Experience was much more fun than expected. Besides the wine (rose) tasting and the story about Rose wines there was much plenty to do for kids (we were with 3 kids: 3,5 and 14 YO) The staff is very friendly, nice wine shop, it is very clean and well setup. A great experience for 1 upto 1,5 hour.

Had a great time at the Pink Palace! The "museum" part is a bit light, but the wine tastings, the fun activities and the friendly staff make it a fun way to spend an hour or so. We were guided on the day by Mafalda Rocha, who explained most of the wines for us and helped us get some good photos.

Super fun experience. This is the most silly and still most interactive museum in WOW. You are allowed to do most anything, and get "payed" in 5 tasting of different rose. It is awesome.

We had so much fun in the pink palace! It is entirely dedicated to rosé wine, something I didn't know much about before. It has information about the wine and lots of fun photo opportunities. There was a ball pit, a seesaw, a saloon room, an old Cadillac and lots of other cool photo spots. The only issue was Google maps trying to send up way up hill to get here, you can go through a building beside the main WOW square, no hills required. You get 5 rosé samples as part of the experience too, all delicious.

Good couple of hours fun , wandering round taking photos learning about wine..felt a bit rushed at times regarding the tasting but just take your time and enjoy.

Note to the uninitiated - this is NOT a museum full of art and antiquities where you can’t touch anything; it’s the exact opposite! It’s basically FUN HOUSE FOR ADULTS and a rose wine tasting at the same time. This doesn’t mean that you won’t come out learning a lot about rose wine – there are placards everywhere explaining how it’s made, which countries produce and it and which countries imbibe it, but what I found most interesting is how it was revered by royalty back in the day (legend has it that Louis XIV noticed the joyful demeanor of the workmen at Versailles and discovered that they were drinking Rosé des Riceys, a pink wine from the Champagne region, so he tried it himself and took a real shine to it, making it famous among the elite of the time) and now it’s still beloved by royalty and wanna-be royalty (Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex has recently launched a brand) and American celebrities go absolutely ga-ga over the pink stuff and many are affiliated with certain brands like John Legend, Cameron Diaz, Jon Bon Jovi, Drew Barrymore, and Post Malone (Brad Pitt and Angeline Jolie are still battling over who will get the shares in their rose winery, Miraval). Rosé has become so popular in posh places like the Hamptons that people are worried it’s going to run out every summer! (Quelle Horreur!) Here’s how the Pink Palace Experience works.. You get a bracelet at the entrance with 5 little buttons inserted. Scattered throughout the rooms that are set up cleverly and creatively like Broadway stage sets, you'll find wine tasting stations. You trade one of the buttons on your bracelet for a glass of Rosé wine served by a charming young lady who will explain to you about how the wine was made, tell you where it was produced, and answer your questions about it. (4 of the wines I tasted were from Portugal, 1 was from France). I won’t want to be a spoiler and overshare what all of the rooms looked like and all the cool things you could do in them, but you will be able to tell from my photos that the purpose of it all was to have fun – pure, unabashed unapologetic fun, that will make you feel like a little kid again! OK, fine, maybe the World of Wine IS a tourist trap (at the end, you end up in a gift shop) but let me tell you, IT WORKED! When I came out the other end, I felt only a little bit poorer but many years younger! And I met a super cool couple from Colombia that recently relocated to Porto and we took pics of each other going through the crazy rooms and exchanged WhatsApp info so now I have a Porto connection all because of the Pink Palace. Uh-huh, that's right. So don't second guess yourself or take yourself too seriously. JUST DO IT!! 😊

A great experience. Well worth the ticket. A fun interactive way to enjoy some wine and air conditioning.

Lovely market. First time that I have seen live chickens and pigeons for sale. Mainly fish and fruit / veg stalls. You can buy your fish and then take it to a stall that will cook it for you!

Really enjoyed this market. You can buy what you want from the fisher men and they'll cook in the restaurant. It's recommend not to many small things as the restaurant will charge per set. Only 8 euro Tesla from Porto centre.

Nice ambience, good service and pricing is clear. Better to be here around 11h cause restaurants only open at 12. We picked a random restaurant and the food is delicious.

Great place to buy fresh fish. When we went there around noon many sellers closed their shops. There are many restaurants in this building which serves freshly caught fish.

It is a great place to get fresh fish, vegetables, fruits. It also has restaurants where you can have cooked fish and other tasty dishes.

Bought sardines from the market, with help from the waiter, took it to the restaurant and they cooked them Add oysters sparkling wine, and side dishes. Wonderful lunch. The onsite info officer was very informative about the town, history and influential architects. Worth exploring.

Nice place to be ! Eat where the inhabitants eat . Seafood at top quality . Unique value chain system: you choose a fish , they bring it to one of the restaurants, where it will be prepared , cooked and served to you . PQR absolutely fair . And Ricardo is a great entertainer. And they are always busy. Reservation is required. Worth an experience! And : it's a 40 min. Bus ride from Porto centre for just 2,50 € !

Lovely airy mall, that has all the usual suspects for shopping, the Frioz, supermarket is also worth a visit, for good value grocery needs.

It’s a less populated shopping centre but it doesn’t have many options for shopping or eating.

Good selection of different foods Asian, American, Portuguese. Along with a variety of alcohol and Desserts. A good stop when you first arrive and are not settled in. Was disappointed with Tacos and tequila. Was unable to provide everything on the menu and a lack of stock and cleanliness.

Been here the first time a week ago. The shopping mall is quite big but not so many people inside. You must wear mask to enter the place. There is a restaurant in the ground floor. The place is clean and spacious.

It is a ordinary shopping mall, foodcourt needs more restaurants. Ventilation system doesn't work well and in summer is it like a sauna inside!

Nice clean center but not a great variety of shops. Clean and spacious in the middle of town. Not my vibe

Nice place, many shops.

Very nice place to shop and to spend quality time with family and friends

It's a nice mall, but currently (fall 2025) undergoing done minor renovations. Many ceilings are affected, but the mall is still totally accessible. For us, tourists who stayed close to the mall, the best part was the food court. It's a very good food court.

I don’t know much about the mall, it’s a bit outdated and needs an interior overhaul… But this poor review is mostly down to the mall having and implementing a standard of business and service expectation within the malls acceptance of is tenants. Referring specifically here to the poor delivery of product and service from the newly refurbished Bowling Alley and Games zone. You can read mine and many many other peoples review there in this regard but you should be forcing closure of that area until that business is ready to perform as a fair and functioning service with a team and product that represents your malls written standards, if they exist.

There are 8 (height) Daytona USA (1994) arcade machines, in the arcade game part of the bowling alley. They're not all in great shape but it was amazing to come across these! I'm a fan Daytona USA! The mall in itself is nice, big, has a lot of stores... Nothing to complain about, it's a great place.

Big shopping center with also arcade and cinema. we went mostly for the cinema, but it was good to use the remaining time to do some shopping. Very wide variety of shops.

Been here few times to spend 1 - 2 hours. It is another big shopping mall in Villa Nova de Gaia with many stores inside also next to the hospital. Pros 1. Parking accessible for wheelchair. 2. Entrance accessible for wheelchair. 3. Free parking for the visitors. 4. Cinema and food court in the top floor. 5. I like this place since they have free wifi accessible surrounding the area. 6. They have many shops for sightseeing. It depends on where you go about prices to pay. I like to go to Jumbo to see some stuffs that might be on discount like miceral waters, cheese, or any other things. 7. The place is fancy, cozy, and well-maintained. 8. Free toilet. 9. Many benches available for seating. 10. Multibanco atm available inside the mall. 11. Loja cidadão is here too.

There is a one-stop government service, which is nice, coz it's much less busier than those in downtown.

Beautiful shop with the most friendly owner! 💐 - and we go there Saturday 🕖 for Fado! ❤️🇵🇹

This is a really cool place full of artisan stalls with their own wares and a friendly atmosphere. Catch the free fado show at 2:30 on Saturdays👍. I really liked some of the jewelry and the different items they had. Worth checking out! Everything is made in Portugal

Cool hidden little hard made craft market, dont be fooled by the small Entrance the market goes way back

A wonderful experience! A new secret to be discovered in the heart of Porto. La Portuguese Porto Market (on a street near rua Santa Catarina) does a wonderful Fado & lunch on Saturdays from 2:30-4:30pm. Ana Ferreira and her accompaniment of guitarists are phenomenal. Her voice echoes beautifully and longingly with classics of Fado. It was a wonderful experience for me and I highly recommend seeing her performance firsthand. Don't miss this opportunity. I am glad I stumbled inside looking at the fashionable neckties exhibited in the windows! Bruno and staff (Barabara and the rest!) provided amazing service and hospitality. I enjoyed their conversation paired with the delicious sausage flambee (with the fire-lit liquor below roasting my food in front of me). The glass of wine I ordered was full enough to be a fish bowl (and of delicious quality - characteristic of Portugal) and the couvert - or snacks and appetizers brought before the meal - were yummy and plentiful. We had so much fun that they asked me to stay for a complimentary sip of Sangria with them and I am super happy that I had that opportunity to get to know some locals of Porto. Wishing the best for them and their fantastic venue/market. Cheers. (Oh, and anyone who didn't give this place 5 stars is either a hater or nearby competition!)

Lovely items and friendly shop owner. I will be back for more during my next Porto visit.

Best Market in town. Just loved it!

Very friendly and agreeable place. Genuine portuguese music on saturdays, along with original food and artisan's works.

An old market that has been refurbished and transformed into an updated and very welcoming food market! The food there is wonderful, I recommend trying it.

The market has become a bit of a dump. Has changed for the worse and is not very well maintained. Dangerous for children with a lot of areas with trash, rubble and opportunities to fall.

A local small marketplace, with excellent pizzas available as well as other options to eat and drink. The bakery is one of the best in Porto. It is located in the most expensive residential area of Porto but prices are ok. Mostly attended by local residents. Weekends by night are a bit noisy, many families with kids. Worth visiting though.

Great local neighborhood spot. Can order a pizza or sit at the bar with a beer and watch the locals. Great value too.

Traditional market with some more modern outlets

Small and quirky (not your typical market). A handful of decent restaurants. I go there for the awesome bread at Pão. There are a few popular small restaurants that get very busy at lunchtime. The restaurant at the very back is a blue collar place with lots of traditional dishes in their lunch menu that I hope to try soon.

Nice stop to grab a bite! Following the trend, the menu has a different set of hamburgers named after city locations. Good quality, accessible prices and friendly costumer service. I really enjoyed the environment as the restaurant is placed on a very typical cozy market, so you get the whole experience of old meets new!

It's not that there's anything wrong with it, but there's nothing special about it either. If you live in Gaia and need something then it's fine, as a tourist it's not really worth the visit.

Always nice to see natural flowers on a shopping mall.

Needs modernisation, especially the ghastly exterior architecture, but has most things you need including one of the best refurbished Continentes in Porto for its large size and range.

Yep, it's a nice shopping center. Quite large. You have all the famous brands...

An intermediate-size mall, rather on the bigger side for malls in Porto. Mainly women's clothing and accessories but also electric appliances a movie theater and a generic food court. Next to the mall is a large continente hypermarket for food etc. I spotted a Decathlon sportswear shop nearby too

Awesome mall. Better than the one in my neck of the woods

Worth service in the world!!! Order sim card for company on 15.05,after was calling minimum 10 times to get this card,was in nos loja Gaia 5 times and already 3 week left from order and no sim card and nobody do not know nothing…every day come tomorrow…useless company!! Do not recomend NOS!!

Top recommendations and top flavours!! Highly recommend this place if you have tastebuds of a refined nature. Ask the staff what you want and they will amaze you.

Great neighborhood pub offering excellent craft beers from Portugal and abroad. I enjoyed drinking my brew in the small courtyard in the back of the pub. They give you a token to keep a tab open. Nice selection of cans and bottles are also available. Worth the visit when the girls are shopping! :)

Awesome selection of beers. Personally feel the prices are a bit high for some of the drinks you can buy but it's a good vibe place, environment and feel about the place!

Nice craft beer bar. The only food on offer was bacon paninis but they were very good (and that's coming from a Brit who isn't normally keen on how bacon is cooked outside the UK!). Very chilled vibe and even had young children in the bar at 10pm! No queues at the bar and a good selection of beers to choose from

Nice little craft beer bar this. 10+ taps of quality craft beer, good range of sour, lager, weiss, stout etc. Lots of different countries too. And loads of cans in the fridge too. Comfy seating. The decor is a bit rough and ready but it's nice, and there's a small outdoor patio too. Staff are super nice. Lovely place.

This is a very chill place to have craft beer. They only have 7 taps, but they have a variety of bottled and can beers for you to buy. They have a stacked fridge and also room temperature stacked shelves with a variety of beers to take home. They have a small food menu, but they encourage you to have food delivered there. They also have an assortment of board games that you can play while you enjoy lovely craft beer! The music is great! And the staff friendly

Nice and comfy place to spend some time with a few or some friends, there is a lot of different beers to try. The number 1 from the house is affordable and tasty. There is also a little open space at the backyard, an acoustic guitar and some games if you want to play. Friendly staff!

A lovely store with great products in beautiful packaging and a wide range of luxurious scents. Even their smallest sized soap’s fragrance lingers long in my bathroom after use, which I love. The second floor has a museum where you can learn more about the brand’s history. The service was ok, but wasn’t as good as I previously experienced 2 years ago.

Lovely two-floor shop with products on the ground floor and a brand history explanation on the first floor. There are so many scents to choose from and the workers are friendly. There is a small section at the Porto airport as well, but only bigger size soaps with limited options and no other products. So if you like the small size soap, specific scents and perfume etc, buy it in the store. If you are not picky, wait to buy at the airport as the price is directly tax free.

Claus Porto is a heritage Portuguese brand known for its luxurious soaps, fragrances, and grooming products. Established in 1887, it blends old-world craftsmanship with bold, Art Deco-inspired packaging. The soaps are triple-milled, long-lasting, and infused with high-quality ingredients like shea butter and essential oils, offering rich lather and elegant scents

A unique place to pick up gifts or souvenirs while travelling. The store is beautiful, they have a wide range of scents and products. The staff are friendly but not intrusive, so you can browse in peace. The museum about the brand’s history is also very interesting.

This is a shop my wife and 6 year old daughter wanted to visit after we saw it featured in a travel show. My wife wanted to visit because she needed more soaps. My daughter wanted to visit because she wanted to wash her hands in the huge sink. Walking into the store, my wife loved the environment. She said it was very relaxing and welcoming. We smelled the different scented soaps and my daughter was extremely vocal about the ones she liked and the ones that were “stinky”. Of course, it was her goal to wash her hands in the big sink so somehow she managed to get it done. The employees were extremely patient with her as they explained the best way to lather the soaps to wash hands. In the end, my daughter probably washed her hands longer than ever before because of that huge sink and her goal of washing her hands there. After we picked out some soaps for ourselves and for gifts, they also gave my daughter a tiny bar of soap with the scent she used to wash her hands. My daughter was so happy. When we returned to the hotel, the first thing she did was open the soap and washed her hands. She let me use the soap once, but then told me it was her soap and that I wasn’t to touch it. Kids. Yes, the price of the soaps is on the high side. However, the soap is really nice. My wife and my daughter love the soaps and I was happy with the service they provided. My wife also likes that the soap is more “hard” and not soft like some other natural soaps she purchases in Canada. Overall, the price I feel is worth it because of the unique scents, the experience in the shop trying each scent, and the service provided. Everything feels high end.

Finding this shop is possibly the highlight of my trip to Porto. It’s so gorgeous! The floor tiles are unbelievable and the large marble sink at the back of the shop is beyond beautiful. Then there is the soap. Absolutely stunning — so sophisticated and impeccably packaged and designed. And the woman, Maria, who help us was beyond fabulous. So gracious, so sweet, speaks perfect English and she clearly loves the products Claus Porto sells. We adore her and will probably go back and buy more things just because she was so charming and fun. A++++

Beautiful store with a museum upstairs on the history of the store.

Tucked away in a charming little street, this restaurant was an absolute delight. The food was delicious, and we truly enjoyed every bite. What made the experience even more special was the warm and welcoming service, especially from the lovely female server who was incredibly kind and attentive. We felt genuinely welcome from the moment we arrived. A fantastic experience all around, highly recommended.

Sunday evening and many restaurants closed, however, Cru welcomed us and we had a superb meal. A short but varied and freshly cooked menu with options for all tastes. One of the best meals we have had in Porto, would recommend without hesitation. Great and friendly service, give it a try!

After scanning the menus on R.de Sa de Noronha we chose Cru for it's reasonable prices and varied menu. It didn't disappoint! The best tuna tataki we've ever had, delicious steak, perfect malcbec and great service!! Definitely recommend!

Our first night in Porto and we found this lovely chilled restaurant. Starter really lovely and the rose wine Pechca is fruity and refreshing. Ceviche was lovely but the bacalhau we found quite dry and heavy. It is a mix of fried cod, chips and egg. As a suggestion maybe keep the egg a little runny so that you have some source to break up the stodginess. However, the staff are lovely and we certainly will return if we are that way again.

We were looking for a nice spot for dinner and we read a review for the 41 bar which sounded interesting. When we were looking for 41 we found this restaurant. Wonderful food and a great waiter with whom we discussed politics, economics, food and port. The sea bass was great and the 40 year old tawny Burmeester was a great end to the meal. Highly recommended.

very good location, we ate outside on the terrace, perhaps a very small space for three people, inside its very nice. Still we loved it, because the waiter was very very friendly, and the food was delicious, very good price for what you can find in Porto

Came here with a friend and had a great time. A 2 person operation: chef and server but still timely service. Had the salmon tartare with apple and it was amazing. Didn’t know salmon could go so well with apple purée with some honey and pistachios. Our server David was so kind and recommended the white fish carpaccio with olives. It was delicious and the olives weren’t overly sour. Also had the braised tuna that was covered with sesame seeds. Personally not a fan of tuna but it was fresh. Would skip the shrimp tempura due to the size of the shrimp used but still delicious. David found out that it was our first night and time in Portugal so he offered a red port tonic with red berries on the house. Refreshing and a wonderful gesture.

Brilliant market. We visited on Saturday and Sunday and there were a different array of stalls. It was hard to limit ourselves on beautiful real handmade items from ceramics, clothes, weaving, children's toys, bags, illustrations. We are trying to get in contact with the persont who made this black cat Teddy. Her email doesn't seem to work. Maybe I am reading it wrong. Please help!

Basically a hidden gem, located in a lovely square, with a centre piece of a monument to WW1, the market is good fun with lots of crafty stalls.

We loved the actual market!! Plenty of stalls with all sorts of food: finger food, fruits and veggies, cheeses and hams and especially lots of fish stalls with food you can try! There’s tables and chairs so you can enjoy the food

My favorite weekend market it's small but unique , my daughter Loves her doll from Micas and Marla!!!

Very nice Saturday's event. Natural food products, earth grown bio, and manufactured in very original and healthy ways, artisans' stands, vintage style clothes, music, typing machines, and other urban modern handcrafted decorative house stuff.

Amazing! Loved the fact you could work around sampling food and drink. You could sit and chat. Great!

Nice little market in the square, it’s only on Saturdays and it was cool to meet the people who made whatever you’re buying. Doesn’t take up too much time of your day so maybe plan something else near it!

Could not BEGIN to recommend this tour and Timur any more!! We had 2 recommended wineries, a quaint boat tour with drinks, and a short list of lunches we were able to choose from, and each was absolutely fantastic. We had come in originally with our own ideas of places to go, but Timur knew the places to go and has great connections with the different places we went. If you are looking for a great day, you need to go to him and listen to whatever he suggests — he is the BEST.

We used Nomad Steps from Lisbon to Porto. They provided an amazing experience stopping on the way to Porto and then back to Lisbon to tour various towns. A highlight was a day trip to Duoro Valley. Timur was fantastic, telling us interesting facts about where we were visiting but also about Portugal on various topics. It made for a very enriched vacation. Without using this service we would have missed out on unique insights and experiences that were curated specifically to our interests. Do yourself a favor and use this service to make your vacation to Portugal extra special.

Timur made our experience of exploring the Douro valley unbelievable. We didn’t know much about the Douro valley or port wine but he was very knowledgeable and provided insight that other port wine tours didn’t mention. He was extremely kind and catered to our every need. He went above and beyond to make sure our trip was unforgettable. He even dropped us off at the beach and helped us get into a very popular restaurant when we were finishing our tour. I would HIGHLY recommend his tours and have already recommended him to friends who are going to Portugal next month. I would give more than 5 stars, if possible.

This is easily our top experience while staying in Porto. Our group had 4 adult + 1 toddler (16 month), and the private tour is a no-brainer compared to other group tour options. Our guide Timur was very nice and knowledgeable. The whole day's itinerary is very well put together, with enough activities/winery visits and not too rushed. We also really enjoyed the lunch option recommended by Timur. Overall, highly recommend this tour to anyone who's interested in visiting the Douro Valley.

Timur provided an excellent tour right from the start. He provided a well adversed tour full of history and great sightseeing. He accommodated and tailored the trip to the needs of the group. Always with a great smile and willing to assist in any possible way. Overall a wonderful experience! Highly recommend people take this tours with him!

We had the best day with Timur! His English was excellent, we learned so much about the Douro Valley and had excellent wine and port. The boat ride was such a fun bonus, and he was a great driver too. He was so nice and personable- our whole family loved him. We couldn’t recommend Timur more!

Just got back from an amazing wine tasting tour of the Douro Valley, and I have to give a huge shoutout to our guide, Jose! Honestly, he made the whole experience so much fun and totally memorable. You can tell he’s super passionate about wine and really knows his stuff — but he explains everything in such a relaxed, down-to-earth way that even if you’re new to wine, you’ll feel right at home. Jose took us through some incredible wines, sharing cool stories about the vineyards and the history behind each bottle. It wasn’t just about tasting wine; it felt like we were on a little adventure, discovering hidden gems and learning what makes each wine unique. Plus, the vibe was really chill and friendly, which made the whole day feel special and easygoing. If you love wine or just want to try something new while having a great time, I can’t recommend Nomad Steps tour enough. Seriously, don’t miss it!

Excellent

This is the right place to buy a present for a woman

(Translated by Google) I've always liked the store and the customer service until the day I had to file a complaint about some Golden Goose sneakers I bought six months ago, and they don't take responsibility for the complaint, always referring the complaint to the brand. I don't accept that sneakers that have barely been used get damaged. I thought a store like this would have a better way of handling a complaint. I was just asking for the shoe to be repaired. (Original) Sempre gostei da loja e do atendimento até ao dia que tive que fazer um reclamação de umas sapatilhas marca Golden Gose compradas tem 6 meses e não se responsabilizam pela reclamação remetendo sempre para a marca a reclamação. Não aceito que umas sapatilhas com pouco uso fiquem danificadas. Pensei que uma loja destas tivesse outro atendimento perante uma reclamação. Estava só a pedir o concerto da sapatilha.

Professional, friendly, and so stylish! I left feeling more confident than ever. Great service from start to finish.

(Translated by Google) A boutique with several famous brands, with a variety of bags, shoes, and clothing. Alessandro provided very friendly and helpful service. (Original) Uma boutique com várias marcar famosas , com uma variedade entre bolsas , sapatos e roupas . Atendimento muito simpático e prestativo do Alessandro .

(Translated by Google) Terrible service. Unfriendly staff and completely disinterested in the sale. I went to exchange a gift and practically had to help myself to another item because they weren't interested in showing me anything. I asked for help several times in a polite and friendly manner. My daughter and I wandered around the store while 3 employees did nothing, they were at the counter looking at the computer. The only one who spoke to us was clearly making a huge effort to serve us. A disgrace. I've been a customer of competing stores and I've never seen anything like it. A store I'll never go back to. They really do complain that customers buy those brands outside the country... very different service... (Original) Péssimo atendimento. Funcionários sem qualquer simpatia e total desinteresse na venda. Fui fazer a troca de um presente e praticamente tive que me servir sozinha de outro artigo pois não estavam interessados em mostrar nada. Pedi ajuda diversas vezes com educação e simpatia.Eu e a minha filha vagueavamos pela loja enquanto 3 funcionários nada faziam, estavam no balcão a olhar para o computador. A única que se dirigiu a nós, estava nitidamente a fazer um esforço enorme para nos atender. Uma vergonha. Sou cliente de lojas concorrentes e nunca vi semelhante. Uma loja onde nunca mais voltarei. Realmente depois queixam-se que os clientes compram aquelas marcas fora do país....bem diferente o atendimento...

(Translated by Google) The best service and one of the best stores selling renowned brands. Open on Sundays! (Original) O melhor atendimento e uma das melhores lojas de marcas conceituadas. Aberto ao Domingo!

Excellent location in the Largo São Domingos square at entrance to Rua das Flores. Great selection of Portuguese food with a modern twist. Ideal to order a selection of dishes to share. Good selection of wines from all regions in Portugal. Very nice staff. Recommended.

I have to question the validity of anyone saying this is unique. 90%of the stuff in there can be seen at all of the shops in town. No one spoke to us as they thought we were American. Avoid.

Nice place

(Translated by Google) Super friendly and professional service. The products are very different from what you see everywhere else, very Portuguese and of high quality. They have extended opening hours and interesting gastronomic tastings, from Port wine with Serra da Estrela cheese, to Alvarinho green wine with Avintes cornbread. Not to be missed. (Original) Atendimento super simpático e profissional. Artigos bem diferentes do que se vê por todo o lado, bem português e de qualidade. Tem um horário alargado e tens provas gastronómicas interessantes, desde o vinho do Porto com o queijo da Serra da Estrela, ao vinho verde Alvarinho com a broa de Avintes. A não perder.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful porcelain shop, and other typical Portuguese objects. Ideal for last minute purchases. The staff is courteous and gives good advice. (Original) Belle boutique de porcelaine, et autres objets typiques du Portugal. Idéal pour les achats de dernières minutes. Le personnel est courtois et de bon conseil.

(Translated by Google) It is a very traditional and typical store in the city, where many of its products are also displayed, and it has its own workshop. It is an incentive for traditional trade and crafts! (Original) É uma loja muito tradicional e típica da cidade, onde se realizam também muitos dos seus produtos expostos, tem atelier próprio. É um incentivo ao comércio tradicional e ao artesanato!

(Translated by Google) Excellent Portuguese craftsmanship from the new generation of artists! Beautiful and welcoming space. (Original) Excelente artesanato português da nova geração de artistas! Espaço bonito e acolhedor.

Easy to find last minute, easy to book, easy to drop off and pickup. Would use again!

Easy and quick. Safe Storage. We got the key to take with us.

Good experience, lovely place & people and luggage was nice and secure!

Very easy to find and super helpful. Note that booking via Luggage Hero is much more expensive than their local price.

With luggages on those cobble stone side walk, I went up and down the street and could not find this place. There's no clear visible signage anywhere.

Worked out perfectly! Host was amazing and our luggage was secured in lockers

Easy to access and use and very friendly and helpful staff.

It’s in the Timeout market towards the very end! It took us a while to find it. The store is tiny compared to those in Lisbon.

(Translated by Google) The store is small, but you will definitely find souvenirs as gifts here. Conveniently, the store is located in a tourist area. Very friendly staff. I made the purchase with pleasure (Original) Магазин небольшой, но сувениры в качестве подарков, вы точно тут найдете. Удобно, что магазин расположен в туристической зоне. Очень приветливый персонал. Я сделала покупку с удовольствием

Really nice quality items made locally. Removed a star due to poor customer service. Really unfortunate, would probably do more business if the staff were more friendly and created a more inviting store.

(Translated by Google) Not expensive, the following. I have known this store since it opened and I think it no longer has anything to do with its origins. Yes, it is very cool and curious (Original) Caro no, lo siguiente. Conozco esta tienda desde que abrió y creo que ya no tiene nada que ver con sus orígenes. Eso sí, es muy cool y curiosa

(Translated by Google) Excellent selection of original and unique Portuguese items. (Original) Excelente selección de artículos portugueses originales y únicos.

(Translated by Google) Shop in the Time Out Market. I didn't find what I was looking for, but there's a good selection of city souvenirs! (Original) Boutique dans le Time Out Market. Je n’ai pas trouvé mon bonheur mais il y a une bonne sélection de souvenirs de la ville!

(Translated by Google) It's located inside Time Out Market, the store is pretty, and the prices are reasonable. They sell Benamor perfume, chocolate, soap, and most Porto souvenirs. (Original) 타임아웃마켓 안에 위치하고있고 가게도 이쁘고 가격도 합리적이예요~베나모르 향수도 팔고 초콜릿,비누, 포르투 기념품은 웬만한건 다 팔아요.

Rude, bad presentation, don't want us go upstairs. Told us the price at the window like it's meat. Didn't feel welcomed at all.

Best port/wine in Porto
