The best places to visit in Vila do conde

The Port and its importance in the Age of Discoveries

Its port was very important at the time of the Portuguese Discoveries, proof of which is the reproduction of one of the ships "Nau Quinhentista" from the 16th century that can be visited. In this small ship-museum you'll see the crew's cabins and some of the navigational instruments, which will give you an idea of what life was like on board.

Aqueduct, the second largest in Portugal

Another of the monuments that you cannot miss and that you will see (we assure you it will not go unnoticed) as soon as you arrive in Vila do Conde, is its 17th century aqueduct. Declared a National Monument, it is the second largest in Portugal. If you want to see it properly, we recommend you go up to the Convent of Santa Clara, the views are worth it.

Santa Clara Convent

Although the Convent cannot be visited, as it is being refurbished to build a 5-star hotel, you can go inside to see the church. You also have a beautiful view of the city over the river from here.

São João Baptista Fortress

Another building worth visiting in Vila do Conde is the Fort of São João Baptista, one of the most emblematic in the city. A walk around it will be a real journey back in time. Moreover, from there, the views of the Atlantic are incredible.

D. João II Square

Cross the wooden bridge in the direction of Póvoa de Varzim and you will come to this square of black and white cobblestones, with a metal structure representing a sundial. This square, restored in 2001, shows some landmarks of the Portuguese discoveries and is named after the king who ordered the construction of the Customs building. This building, very close to the square, has become a very interesting museum on the maritime history of the city.

Don't miss the beaches of Vila do Conde

Another reason why many tourists visit Vila do Conde are its beaches. The beaches of Forno, Nossa Senhora de Guia or Praia Azul are just a few examples of wide white sandy beaches, ideal for children. Be careful, the Atlantic water is very cold.

Shopping in Vila do Conde

If you've already toured the city, visited its beaches and monuments and still have time before returning home, here's another option: shopping. If shopping is your thing, a 15-minute drive from Vila do Conde is the Vila do Conde Porto Fashion Outlet shopping centre, a huge shopping centre open every day of the year (Sundays included).

What to eat in Vila do Conde

If there is one thing that characterises Portuguese gastronomy, it is cod. The possibilities for preparing it are endless, so you're sure to find the version you like best. And don't leave without trying the "petingas a moda das caxinas", a sardine stew with potatoes, and "Doces de Ovos", a cream made with egg yolk and syrup.
