Mercado do Bolhão

Oporto's colorful market

Located in the heart of the city, this noisy and exuberant market is a sight not to be missed.

Located in a two-tier covered building, it sells everything from fresh fruit to household goods.

Especially entertaining is listening to the flamboyant fishwives hawking the latest catch in true Oporto spirit, an image that made this market famous all over Portugal.
