Everything you should know before you book
Porto is an easy city with children: compact, river-fronted, and home to an aquarium, a hilltop zoo, and a clutch of hands-on museums. This list ranks the family favourites by review score so you can pick the ones that fit your kids' ages — and the parents' itinerary.
Pair an indoor museum with an outdoor stop for the weather. SEA LIFE Porto and the World of Discoveries work rain or shine, while the Santo Inácio zoo across the river in Gaia is best on a dry morning. The Neonia immersive rooms and Porto Legends underground experience are a hit with older kids and teens.
