FAQS
What languages are available in the museum?
Information is displayed in Portuguese and English, and is also available in French and Spanish through QR Codes.
Do children need a ticket?
Children up to 3 years old have free entrance and do not need a ticket. Children from 4 to 12 years old enjoy a reduced price (9€).
Is this better than a walking tour?
It’s the perfect companion to a walking tour. While a walking tour shows you where things are, this museum shows you how they came to be, using technology and visuals that you can't get on the street. We recommend visiting this first.
Will children enjoy a history museum?
Yes! Unlike traditional museums, this one is very "hands-on." Kids love the life-sized tram, the interactive screens, and the cinema. It’s designed to be engaging for all ages, not just historians.
Do I need to book a specific time?
No. Your ticket is flexible. You can arrive at any time during opening hours on the date selected, making it easy to fit in between lunch and a Port wine tasting.
Is it easy to find?
Yes. WOW is a major landmark in Gaia. Once you enter the district, there is clear signage for "Porto Region Across the Ages." It’s just a short walk from the Jardim do Morro Metro station.
