The appearance of the market can hardly be dissociated from the traditional city center and the Municipality of the Matosinhos County. It is a point of reference not only to the residents but also to the occasional visitor, many of which are tourists. Because of its location, it has to be seen as the anchor for urban and commercial revitalization of Matosinhos´s historical center.

Always fresh, always at hand The past is revisited in the new Bom Sucesso Market, through the familiar colors and scents of fruit and vegetables. One can almost hear the market woman's catchy cries. Modern days are still filled with those scents and colors, but the Market has gone a step further by adding new delicacies and flavors. The place invites visitors to find out more about its history and about the road taken until the present day. In here all five senses are awakened. And at the end of a working day, this inviting and sensorial space is ideal for a snack among friends, ideal to share thoughts and dreams, or to revive old memories. Life can be smooth, even with abounding sensations. Matches your smile Bom Sucesso Market is a Babel made of costumes, routines and traits of people that are here, and people that arrive. There are shopping bags, and little gifts to be exchanged, there are offices closing new deals and opening new doors. There are local people enjoying the place, but also foreign faces, with different accents and languages, already so familiar. In between the hotel and the market area there is bustle and pauses punctuated with fleeting smiles and loud guffaws. We love this concept that becomes more meaningful when a smile flowers from a pair of lips, when people cross each other's paths in a place where so many things happen.

This is the market of our days. Located in the heart of the historical center of Vila Nova de Gaia, the Mercado Beira-Rio (food market) aims to be a pole of attraction for the locals and tourists.

The centenary Market of Bolhão (MB) is the most emblematic market of the city of Porto and one of the most famous in Portugal, classified in 2006 as Property of Patrimonial Interest, and in 2013, as a Monument of Public Interest. It has been in restoration and modernization works since May 2018 for an estimated period of two years. Once completed, the intervention will return to the city one of its most important heritage values, intact in its essence and always as a traditional and public market of fresh products, as it was born. When it reopens its doors, it will remain faithful to its tradition, with the same faces, sympathy and always with excellent products. Until then, the MB is located in the Temporary Market of Bolhão, only two minutes away from the original market.
