Casa de Tormes - Museu Queirosiano

Reviewed By cristinamH2702SG - Lisbon, Portugal

For those who love the writer Eça de Queiroz and his magnificent work it´s one of the best places to visit in the Douro region. The tour and the guidance of Sandra were just magical. Also the restaurante in the house is absolutely divine. Eating the same meal as Eça de Queroz ate when he arrived in Tormes...

Casa-Museu Teixeira Lopes

Reviewed By AussieMarisainPorto - Lanark, United Kingdom

Wow, what a relaxing, exquisite home ‘far from the madding crowd’ of Portuguese-famous Antonio Teixeira Lopes. Serbian multilinguist, Alexandra, our tour guide, made it all come alive with a commentary that kept us fabulously informed & waiting for more. Get outa that awful hop on hop off bus and make the effort to schlep up the hill (or cheat and take the metro, hopping out at Camera de Gaia for a big, fat 1.50 euros one way), it was one of the most adorable & informative hourlong tours we did in our 12 days in Porto. The statues will dwarf you and his artistic talent will tantalise you (ask about his personal life too, quite a hedonist, knocking about with nobility). What a guy, then he gave the whole flippin’ house away to Gaia’s City Council for nicks. And for this, you get to walk in the front door and partake of his amazing home for free - a gift beyond description.

Located at FC Porto's Estadio do Dragao stadium, the FC Porto musem is a display available both as part of the stadium tour or separately, and is a good day out for any football fan (well, Benfica or Boavista fans aside) I've had the pleasure of visiting a good few football team museums in my time, but I have to say I was quite taken aback by Portos. Perhaps somewhat naively of me, because they aren't classed in that horrible Sky Sports bracket of 'Super Clubs' I underrated them, but truth be told I always had a soft spot for them growing up, and actually regard their 2004 Champions League triumph as the last tournament I truly enjoyed. Still though, this is as impressive as any museum you are likely to visit. It displays the wide range of trophies Porto have won both domestically and continentally, including a great display which loops highlight videos of all their UEFA and FIFA final wins behind the trophies in question (as a Rangers fan, I'll admit I smiled a bit at the 2003 UEFA Cup one as much as any of the Champions League ones) as well as providing a detailed history of the club from their humble beginnings. In addition, the museum also showcases a wealth of old Porto shirts (I'm a geek for stuff like that, and the 1997-98 Kappa Porto shirts are ones I longed for as a teenager) and a really nice section devoted to the team voted as their greatest ever 11 by fans, offering up statue effigies of each star with an attached video screen with details about them. Coming in at a relatively low cost, and easily accessible by Metro (there's an Estadio do Dragao stop) this is a great day out, especially if you can't get to a Porto game (the fixture I was meant to go see got moved) and you can always pick up a little something at the club shop too.
