Top choice in Foz do Douro

This fabulous cultural institution combines a museum, a mansion and extensive gardens. Cutting-edge exhibitions, along with a fine permanent collection featuring works from the late 1960s to the present, are showcased in the Museu de Arte Contempor芒nea, an arrestingly minimalist, whitewashed space designed by the eminent Porto-based architect 脕lvaro Siza Vieira. The delightful, pink Casa de Serralves is a prime example of art deco, bearing the imprint of French architect Charles Siclis. One ticket gets you into both museums.

The museums sit within the marvellous 18-hectare Parque de Serralves. Lily ponds, rose gardens, formal fountains and whimsical touches 鈥 such as a bright-red sculpture of oversized pruning shears 鈥 make for a bucolic outing in the city. The estate is6km west of the city centre; take bus 201 from in front of Pra莽a Dom Jo茫o I, one block east of Avenida dos Aliados.
