    • Porto through the ages, a journey to the heart of Porto's history

      More than a museum, Porto through the ages is a true story of the life of Porto from the first civilizations to today. Go back in time to cross the eras and understand the evolution of the city between the era of discoveries, the French invasions, the civil war and the siege of Porto, unforgettable moments that built Porto.

      We cannot talk about the rich heritage of the capital of Portugal without mentioning this emblematic drink of the city that makes its reputation: port. The industrial revolution and the development of the port trade are essential passages in the history of Porto to discover during the visit which is like a journey through time.

      Cinema, video mapping show or even a life-size replica of a period tram, the museum reveals all the secrets of Porto, but also the character of its inhabitants who play a crucial role in its development and prosperity.

      The little extra: an audio guide is available in Portuguese, English, Spanish, French, German and Korean

      Porto through the ages is a good starting point to begin your visit to WOW, a unique cultural district located in Vila Nova de Gaia including museums, a temporary exhibition and many restaurants to experience a unique day in Porto.
