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

I've seen quite a few modern art museums around the world and this was the most disappointing. The majority of the collection were cheesy black and gray pencil/charcoal pieces that I could have done in middle school. There's only one floor of art (the upstairs exhibit wasn't open) and we were done in literally 15 minutes. For 7 euros it's... More

This is the most amazing space in which to display art - very light and so many interesting view points. Contemporary art is not my thing but I could appreciate the space and beauty of the building. A bonus is the visit to the gardens surrounding the gallery. Really beautifully themed gardens. Great
