Parque de Serralves

Parque de Serralves offers a truly special experience in the outskirts of Porto. This expansive garden is a haven of tranquility, blending beautifully landscaped grounds with a captivating collection of sculptures scattered throughout. It’s a place where you can easily lose yourself, particularly on a pleasant day, soaking in the peaceful atmosphere.

One of the park’s highlights is undoubtedly the treetop walk – a remarkably serene experience that provides a unique perspective on the surrounding landscape. It’s a fantastic way to connect with nature and enjoy the beauty of the Portuguese countryside. While the museum is a significant attraction, many visitors appreciate the park itself as a destination in its own right, and you certainly don’t need to be a fan of modern art to appreciate its charms.

Entry to the park costs €15, and it’s easily accessible by autocarro (bus) from Porto city centre. Remember that playing with balls isn't permitted within the park’s grounds. Whether you’re seeking a relaxing stroll, a moment of contemplation, or simply a beautiful escape from the city, Parque de Serralves consistently receives high praise from visitors, making it a worthwhile addition to your Porto itinerary. Many enjoy a pequeno-almoço (breakfast) in the nearby Vila Nova de Gaia before heading over.
