Why Matosinhos

The Guardian

Featured Matosinhos as a destination on the rise, where seafood heritage meets art, architecture and gastronomy.

UNESCO

Matosinhos is part of Porto’s UNESCO-recognised creative food scene, a city that lives by its gastronomy.

World’s Best Fish

The city’s own claim: fish landed at the port each morning, grilled over charcoal by lunchtime.

Álvaro Siza

The Pritzker-winning architect was born here; his tidal pools and clifftop teahouse are minutes away.
