Average bod with no real art understanding may find the modern art a little out there, still worth a visit however the gardens are worth visiting and spending a few hours walking around.

I've been to Serralves more than once. Two of those times were to see exhibitions, which I really enjoyed. But my favorite part of the whole thing are the gardens. As I love photography, it is like a little piece of heaven whenever I go there! One of my favorite places to go in Porto, for sure.

Alvaro Siza's building is interesting but the art work wasn't very inspiring but the garden was increidble. It a very big garden, full of suprises, there is a pond and a cute tea house under a roof of flowers, there even is a farm. It is really worth spending some time, walking around in this bucolic environement.

Amazing park in the city, lovely art gallery and acres of gardens, farm, lake, woods, formal garden and art deco building

Very big space 15-16 ha .I liked the museum and the naturall light on it. Place is very spacious. I disliked "No photos" to share and to have for us.

When you enter the domain, a guard will point you to the recent museum where you can buy your tickets. Attention. If also interested in a tour in the Rem Koolhaas' Casa da Musica, buy the special combination ticket. It's only half a euro more (7,50 instead of 7). Second thing to do. Leave the Álvaro Siza Viera building immediately... More

Designed by the architect Alvaro Siza this is a must for anyone interested in buildings. We enjoyed the building itself, the Art Deco villa in the gardens, and the park space probably more than the paintings but it was well worth a 20 minute bus ride out there.

Serralves is one of the best places in Porto to spend some lazy hours, or to dive into some culture. The museum is great, but the gardens are truly amazing. The restaurant is not bad, at all. It's not cheap but the service is good.

It was interesting getting out to the museum, and there happened to be a rather interesting artist on exhibit (Jorge Martins), which was great. But the rest of the holdings were rather ordinary. I liked the Oldenberg trowel outside, and my guess is that the gardens are lovely when in bloom. The huge-horned cows in the quinta area were pretty... More
