BOLHÃO MARKET ou Mercado do Bolhão where the true heart of the city beats is one of the great historical markets of Portugal and Europe and is a home of the identity of the northern identity. It is also a remarkable centennial urban heritage with very distinctive particularities. Porto’s historic market > The origins of the Bolhão Market, one of the most iconic buildings of the city of Porto, date back to the mid-19th Century, when the Porto City Council decided to build a market on land acquired from the Church. It was at that time that architect Joaquim da Costa Sampaio Lima ordered the allocation of spaces for the "Bolhão Indoor Market". The first known project for the market dates back to 1837 and was created by architect Joaquim da Costa Lima Júnior, who designed a retangular square, divided, inside, into four blocks surrounded by trees with a staircase to the North that connects to Rua de Fernandes Tomás street. • Did you know that the name "Bolhão" comes from the existence of a stream, on the land where the building was implanted, that when crossing a muddy plain between Rua Formosa and Rua de Fernandes Tomás streets formed an enormous bubble of water. In the vicinity, there was already a water spring, called "Fonte do Bolhão". Established as the city's favourite fresh produce market, the restored Bolhão will continue to fulfil its purpose and vocation, now operating in the best conditions to enjoy the space and carry out activities. Assuming itself as a food destination of excellence, the Market possesses, therefore, not only a fresh produce market, with a total of 79 stalls located on the ground floor, but also 10 restaurants, located on the top floor and 38 shops facing outside. The building, the market and the people guided all the restoration and modernisation work on the Bolhão Market, which now has all the conditions to reaffirm its decisive role in the social, cultural, and economic context of the city.

You can't visit Porto without visit Bolhão. This market is where farmers and people from here came to sell their fruit and vegetables. Unfortunately it's closed for renovations. But you can visit the temporary one at La Vie.
