Serralves Museum Porto Tickets 2026: €24 All-Access + Park
One €24 ticket covers a Pritzker-prize museum, an Art Deco villa, and 18 hectares of park. Here's what's on in 2026, when entry is free, and how to plan the visit.
Most people come to Porto for the wine and treat Serralves as an afterthought. That's backwards. For €24 you get three things in one ticket: a museum of contemporary art designed by Álvaro Siza, a 1930s Art Deco villa, and 18 hectares of park you could spend an afternoon in without seeing a single painting.
In 3 minutes
- Ticket: €24 general (museum + Siza wing + villa + park + Treetop Walk + House of Cinema). Park only €15. Under 12 free
- Open (Apr–Sep): Mon–Fri 10:00–19:00, weekends and holidays 10:00–20:00. Shorter hours Oct–Mar. Closed 25 Dec and 1 Jan
- Free: First Sunday of the month, but Portugal residents only (ID required at the box office)
- On in 2026: Joan Miró (villa, through Jan 2027), Jenny Holzer, Frank Gehry, Alice Neel
The €24 all-access ticket is the one to buy. The park-only ticket at €15 makes sense if you're visiting for the grounds and the Treetop Walk rather than the art, but the price gap is small enough that most people should take the full pass.
Where to book
Our take: GetYourGuide if you want free 24-hour cancellation and a mobile ticket; the official site if you'd rather book direct at the same price.
What's on at Serralves in 2026?
The programme is unusually strong this year, and it's spread across the grounds rather than concentrated in one building.
The Joan Miró show, Elective Affinities, runs in the Serralves Villa through 10 January 2027. It pairs Miró with contemporary work from the collection, and the villa is the calmest place on the estate to see it. If you know the Fundació Joan Miró in Barcelona, this is a different, quieter encounter with his work.
In the main museum, Jenny Holzer's Wrong Answers opens 18 June 2026 and runs to 1 November. Frank Gehry: The Gehry Century fills the Álvaro Siza wing from 12 June to 30 December. Two more open later in the year: Alice Neel: Beautifully Imperfect in July, and a Lee Ufan show in September. Dates shift, so confirm on serralves.pt before you build a visit around any single exhibition.
What to see, and in what order
Start with the museum (1.5–2 hours). Siza's 1999 building is the point as much as the art inside it. The galleries are deliberately plain so the light does the work, and the windows frame specific views of the park. Notice how often a sculpture outside lines up with a window inside.
Cross to the Serralves Villa (30 minutes). A five-minute walk from the museum and the building most day-trippers skip. The 1930s Art Deco interiors are worth the detour on their own, and it currently holds the Miró show.
Finish in the park (1–2 hours). Eighteen hectares of formal gardens, woodland, and a working farm. The Treetop Walk is a raised walkway through the canopy that most reviews rate higher than they expected to. On a warm day, this is where the visit earns its half-day.
What do most visitors wish they knew before going?
Give yourself more time than you think. Visitors consistently report planning two hours and staying four, because the park pulls them in after the galleries. If you're tight on time, do the museum and villa and accept you'll skip the park.
Go on a weekday morning if you can. Serralves is almost never as crowded as Porto's riverfront, but weekend afternoons and summer holidays still fill the café and the Treetop Walk. Tuesday to Thursday at opening is the quietest window.
Wear shoes you can walk in. The grounds are large and the paths are gravel and grass, not the polished floors of a city museum. And bring water in summer; the park has little shade in its open sections.
If you're combining Serralves with the rest of the city, it pairs well with a slower day. Pricing for Porto's wine cellars across the river in Gaia sits in a different part of town, so don't try to do both in one rushed afternoon.

Frequently asked questions
How much are Serralves tickets in 2026?
The general ticket is €24 and covers everything: the Museum of Contemporary Art, the Álvaro Siza wing, the Serralves Villa, the 18-hectare park, the Treetop Walk, and the House of Cinema. A park-only ticket is €15. Children under 12 are free. Visitors aged 12–17, students up to 25, and seniors 65+ get 50% off. A Porto Card or Youth Card gets 20% off.
Is Serralves free on Sundays?
The first Sunday of each month is free, but only for residents of Portugal who show a Portuguese Citizen Card or Resident Card, and only at the box office. International visitors pay the standard €24. If you're travelling, don't plan your visit around a free slot you won't qualify for.
What exhibitions are on at Serralves in 2026?
Several. A Joan Miró show, Elective Affinities, runs at the Serralves Villa through 10 January 2027. Jenny Holzer's Wrong Answers opens 18 June 2026 in the museum. Frank Gehry's The Gehry Century runs in the Siza wing from 12 June to 30 December 2026. Alice Neel: Beautifully Imperfect opens in July 2026, and a Lee Ufan show follows in September. Confirm dates on serralves.pt.
How long do you need at Serralves?
Half a day. The contemporary art museum alone takes 1.5 to 2 hours; add the villa, the park, and the Treetop Walk and you're at 3 to 4 hours. The park is the reason to give it the extra time. If you only want the art, the museum and Siza wing are enough for a focused morning.
How do you get to Serralves from Porto city centre?
Take the metro to Casa da Música (lines A, B, C, E, F), then STCP bus 201 or 502, or the metrobus toward Serralves. Bus 207 runs from Campanhã station. Allow 20 to 30 minutes door to door from the historic centre. A taxi or rideshare takes about 15 minutes.
