Trofa, municipality in Portugal
Trofa is a small city in the Porto metropolitan area, located in northern Portugal. It features wide streets, plain buildings, and a landscape of open fields mixed with wooded areas, showing a blend of older structures and newer developments throughout its neighborhoods.
The city has roots extending back to ancient times and gradually grew from small villages into a larger municipality over centuries. The railway station area, featuring late 19th-century buildings that once connected Porto and Braga, reflects the town's historical importance during the railway age.
Trofa is easily reached with good train connections to Porto and nearby areas, making travel convenient for those without a car. The town is compact and walkable, with local parks, shops, and services close together, allowing visitors to explore most areas on foot in a relaxed manner.
The Souto de Bairros collection holds over 60 classic cars, some dating back to the early 1900s, quietly telling stories of the past. Nearby, Castro de Alvarelhos displays archaeological remains from the Bronze Age through medieval times and offers sweeping views of the surrounding countryside from its hilltop location.
