Mercado do Bolhão
Porto, Portugal
Porto’s restored 19th-century market: fish, cured meats and petiscos.
The Mercado do Bolhão is a traditional market hall in the centre of Porto, Portugal, on Rua Formosa in the Aliados & Bolhão district. Lonely Planet describes the building as a 19th-century market hall with a wrought-iron structure.
The market closed in spring 2018 for a comprehensive renovation and reopened in 2022. The source we read gives no information on the stalls and products, opening hours or visitor tips; look up a current source beforehand, such as the market's official site, and check the opening hours.
