Vila Nova de Gaia, Municipality and port wine district in Porto Metropolitan Area, Portugal
Vila Nova de Gaia extends along the southern bank of the Douro River, featuring numerous wine cellars and 17 Atlantic coastal beaches.
The city originated from the Roman settlement of Cale, developing through medieval times until receiving its municipal charter in 1834.
The House-Museum of Teixeira Lopes displays Portuguese art collections spanning from the 16th to 20th centuries, including sculptures and paintings.
The municipality connects to Porto via the Dom Luis I Bridge, with metro lines, buses, and a cable car system serving local transportation needs.
The municipality houses over fifty port wine cellars where centuries-old wines mature in oak barrels within granite-walled buildings.
