A Sunday in practice

  • Morning: a museum (the Portuguese Photography Centre is free) or the Stock Exchange Palace. Since 1 August 2024, free entry to national museums and monuments (Museus e Monumentos de Portugal) is reserved for residents of Portugal, 52 days a year (gov.pt): foreign visitors pay on Sundays.
  • Lunch: book; several well-known francesinha places are closed on Sunday. The São Bento Time Out Market is open 10:00 to 23:00 on Sunday.
  • Afternoon: a Douro cruise or a walk in Foz do Douro. See also the free activities.
  • Shopping: do it on Saturday, or go to a shopping centre.
