PORTO 360 - SUPER BOCK ARENA
PAVILHÃO ROSA MOTA
Guided tour by Porto Secret Spots
Located in the middle of the Crystal Palace Gardens, the Super Bock Arena - Rosa Mota Pavilion is a landmark building in the city of Porto, designed by José Carlos Loureiro, that has recently been renovated.
It was built in the fifties of the 20th century on the site where for more than 80 years there was a "Crystal Palace", similar to those in London and Madrid.

-
Where is the entrance of Porto 360?At door 1 of the Super Bock Arena - Rosa Mota Pavilion, in the heart of the Crystal Palace Gardens. Right next to the point identified on Google Maps as "Super Bock Arena - Pavilhão Rosa Mota".
-
Is going up to the dome of the Super Bock Arena - Rosa Mota Pavilion worth the effort (and the price)?We believe so, just like whoever has been there for the past 67 years (the roof was only completed in 1954, 2 years after the inauguration of the venue). Is it because it is an iconic building with immense views over Porto, from Ribeira to Foz, and Gaia, from Monte da Virgin to Afurada? Or because the visits are carried out safely in groups of up to 13 people, accompanied by a friendly guide? Or by peeking inside this revamped arena? Come and find out!
-
Who can climb to the dome?Anyone who can climb stairs independently and is 6 years old or older.
-
Is it possible to just book the places, without making the payment?No, all reservations require immediate payment. But you can also come to our reception and buy the tickets on the spot, as long as there are places available; here, you can pay with cash or debit or credit cards.
-
Can I bring my mobile phone or camera during the visit?For safety reasons, on the way up and down the stairs you are not allowed to use mobile phones and cameras. The reason is to ensure that we all have our hands free to hold the handrail along the stairs to avoid any accidents.
-
What happens if the visit is canceled by Porto 360?We may have to cancel your visit due to bad weather conditions or technical problems in the arena. These situations are very rare but may happen occasionally. In these cases, and according to your preference, we can reschedule your visit or ask for the complete refund.
