Review & FAQ:

Formerly one of the most important shipbuilding centers in the country, Vila Do Conde is now an inviting resort-style beach town. There are plenty of beaches to choose from, but highlights include Praia Azul, which is known for its family-friendly rock pools, and the beautiful Praia do Forno, which is backed by the majestic 17th-century Forte De São João. You might want to spend the entire day at one of these beautiful beaches, but if you'd like to learn about the city's maritime history, you can visit the fascinating Shipbuilding Museum or marvel at the replica 16th-century ship moored on the Ave River.
