Experience Urban Market Porto - Time Out Market

Urban Market Porto - Time Out Market transforms the historic south wing of São Bento Railway Station into a festive Christmas celebration for its inaugural holiday season. Located in a UNESCO World Heritage site in Porto's historic center, this special Christmas edition runs from late November through early January, bringing together Portuguese designers, artisans, and creators in charming wooden chalets. The market features 20 carefully curated Portuguese brands offering unique gifts including jewelry, illustrations, ceramics, fashion, and handcrafted design pieces. Beyond shopping, visitors can enjoy the market's vibrant cultural programming with live concerts, DJ sets, circus arts performances, and creative workshops throughout the season. The outdoor plaza is beautifully illuminated for the holidays, creating a magical atmosphere enhanced by special gastronomic initiatives from the venue's Michelin-starred chefs and restaurants. Time Out Market Porto itself houses 12 restaurants and two bars, including a spectacular wine bar with panoramic city views from the tower, making it easy to combine Christmas shopping with world-class dining. The market operates daily with extended hours on weekends, and the communal seating approach encourages a festive, social atmosphere. For travelers seeking authentic Portuguese gifts and cultural experiences in a stunning architectural setting, this Christmas market offers a perfect blend of tradition and contemporary Porto style.
