Mercado Bom Sucesso

74-90 Praça do Bom Sucesso, Porto, Porto

Description

The Bom Sucesso Market opened in 1952 as a traditional market but has since then been remodelled as a space that includes not only fresh produce stalls but also restaurants, coffee shops and bakeries, fashion & decoration shops, a supermarket and even a hotel.

Access & Transport

The market is located in the western part of Porto, in the district of Massarelos, near the Casa da Música. There is a large bus station next door and the Casa da Musica metro station (A, B, C, E, F) is a 10 mins walk away.

Instructions & Recommendations

Make sure to have a look at the Casa da Música (concert hall). Nearby attractions include the tram museum, the Jardins do Palácio de Cristal and the National Museum Soares dos Reis.

Meta review

Featured in travel magazines and (unsurprisingly) online review portals are full of fake entries. Opinions are somewhat predictable: plenty of choice with a focus on Portuguese cuisine but not only so there is something for everyone. Some surprised reviewers who expected to find a traditional fresh food market and instead chanced upon a "posh food hall".

Environmental & Social

No information around sustainability and environmental impact of the operations. We deem this marginally negative in that respect and socially neutral

Conclusion

A nice place for a group to enjoy a coffee or a meal with different cuisine options but not really a tourist sight in any way.

Key positive

Variety of cuisines and F&B shops

Close to a metro station

Key negative

Not the place for fresh produce

Suitability

No restrictions / accessible
