    Wonderful Staff
    I enjoyed the WOW experience. I visited 6 of the museums. Each one was well done and interesting. The complex was very clean and was decorated well. It was a bit hard finding your way around the complex. There were lots of stairs but many elevators. The staff was the BEST. They went out of their way to show you where things were. They were friendly and acted like they were happy to see you. They are well trained. I ate at one restaurant. It was good. The dessert bar was delicious. I highly recommended going here
    Dear Karen, Thank you for visiting WOW and for sharing your experience! We are extremely happy to hear you enjoyed your visit. We truly appreciate your time and interest in visiting 6 of our museums and trying one of our delicious restaurants. We are grateful for your kind words about our team and we will take your comments about the way around our complex into account. Your feedback is truly valuable to us. We hope welcoming you at WOW again soon!

    Amazing undervalued spot
    It is an amazing and underappreciated place in Porto. I've been a Porto citizen all my life and haven't heard anybody talk about this place. It is huge and yet, it is almost empty. The views are astonishing and the buildings are impressive with well thought-out decorations. I was able to visit 2 museums and both were much more exciting than I'd expected and a ton of fun as well, although I think that's because I'm in my twenties and some experiences can be youth-attractive. Overall, I really recommend this place to everyone who's visiting the city as it's not that expensive and really close the city center (I recommend taking the metro and getting off at "Jardim do Morro")
    Dear Tomas, Thank you for your visit to WOW and for sharing your kind words and photos! We are delighted to hear you got to visit 2 of our museums and found them fun and exciting. We appreciate your time in leaving us a review on Trip Advisor, and we hope welcoming you at WOW again soon! Kind regards, WOW Team

    Very Touristy but If You Have Time Well Worth While
    We have watched the WOW get built over the last few years. During the Summer the area was overrun with tourists. However, we have visited family in Porto during the Autumn in the off season. Almost empty in comparison. A deep dive into the website revealed the existence of the WOW Card. This is an annual season ticket. Holders can obtain a day ticket for no additional cost with entry to all of the museums and discount on attractions that are an additional cost. Great value given that individual experiences can be €20 a pop. The weather was wet for 10 days - first time that has happened in 8 years. Made full use of our cards. Each experience is the subject of a separate review. Plenty of toilets. Lots of lifts, but the signage leaves a bit to be desired when navigating the site. Wheelchair users really need to get assistance to get the best out of the facilities. With a card a great value attraction, particularly in adverse weather.
    Dear Flufflinger, Thank you for taking the time to write about your experience at WOW. We are pleased to hear you got to visit several of our museums and that you found the WOW Card to be of great value. We also appreciate your feedback about the ease of navigation on our complex. Your opinion is truly valuable to us and will be taken into consideration. We hope you will visit us again, soon! Kind regards, WOW Team

    Surely it will become a reference point, but it's not quite there yet.
    WOW (World Of Wine) is a space in Porto dedicated to wine. There are different museums and restaurants, as well as squares and open spaces. It's a curious and interesting place, but I have the feeling that it still needs to be further developed to have more life and become a reference point.
    Dear guest, Thank you for visiting WOW and for taking the time to leave us your feedback. We are sorry to hear your visit to WOW didn't meet your expectations. Your feedback is highly valuable to us and will be taken into consideration. WOW was created from the restoration of old port wine cellars, including immersive museums, a Wine School, and several restaurants, bars and event spaces - with the mission to reinforce Porto’s cultural and historical values. We always strive to deliver a "WOW" experience to all of our visitors, and we truly hope to have the opportunity of welcoming you back in the future, so we can show you what our complex has to offer! Kind regards, WOW Team

    just WOW!
    I went with my friends to celebrate the Sao Joao festival there - and I was WOW-ed :) Beautiful, elegant and very vibrant place, with a lot of different spaces in one. The food was amazing, the view of the Douro river and the bridge with the fireworks at midnight mesmerizing. A lot of people of all ages, all happy to be a part of it. I hope the next time I will visit museum sections and have the full WOW experience!
    Dear Jelena, Thank you for visiting WOW and for taking time to leave us your feedback and amazing pictures. We are pleased to hear you enjoyed your time at our São João festival. Our goal is to always provide a memorable moment to our guests, so your opinion is truly valuable to us. We hope you visit us again, next year! Thank you WOW Team
