This space is a large cultural and tourist complex located in Vila Nova de Gaia, just across from Porto's Old Town. It's a collection of museums, restaurants, bars, shops, and cultural spaces that celebrate the history, culture, and cuisine of Portugal, especially its northern region.

From São Bento Station, exit the main entrance onto Praça de Almeida Garrett and follow Rua 31 de Janeiro downhill to Avenida Dom Afonso Henriques. From there, keep right toward the Cathedral (Sé do Porto). At the cathedral, continue to Ponte Luís I and cross it – the upper deck is the most beautiful, with views of the Douro and the old town. On the other side, in Vila Nova de Gaia, turn left up Rua do Choupelo, which will take you directly to WOW – World of Wine. The walk takes about 20 to 25 minutes and is easy to manage, although the last section is a bit uphill. It's actually quite quick, but otherwise, just take a break along the way :)

The experience center in Vila Nova de Gaia not only offers exhibitions and wine tastings, but also one of the best viewpoints over Porto. Insider tip: Head up to the upper terrace in the evening – from there you'll see the Dom Luís I Bridge and the old town illuminated by a sea of lights. A view that few people associate with the WOW, but is unforgettable.
