Located just north of Porto, Matosinhos is a dynamic coastal city best known for its fresh seafood, expansive beaches, and strong maritime identity. What was once a traditional fishing town has evolved into one of the most attractive places to live and visit in the Greater Porto area, offering a rare balance between urban convenience and seaside lifestyle.
Well connected to Porto by metro, road, and rail, Matosinhos appeals to residents who want proximity to the city centre without sacrificing open space, coastal views, and quality of life. Its mix of residential neighbourhoods, industrial heritage, and modern redevelopment has made it increasingly popular with locals, expats, and property investors alike.
