Everything Portugal has to offer. - A very nice market, for the palate and eye, where you can also taste many products on site. Of course not for every day, as everything that is offered has its price.

The Bolhao Markets are a... - The Bolhao Markets are a great place to taste and enjoy the produce available in the city of Porto, and it helps if you have a ‘foodie’ as a guide to enable you to know what products are best, and which stall to buy from. Anna proved a lovely young companion, who inspired us to return here almost every day after her tour, to buy our lunch!

Modern Trading - Obviously this "market" targets the tourist......its worth a visit because it others quality products. We felt it needed more places in the middle of the building to eat,drink and rest your plates.

Market which feels a bit cleaned up for tourists, we felt - We didn't actually do a guided tour in the end but decided we would go round at our leisure and take in the experience. From markets we have been to abroad in the past, this one felt as though it had been 'cleaned up' for the tourists, rather than having a 'genuine' market feel that you might find elsewhere, as it lacked the 'rough and ready' feel of what we would consider a 'genuine' market. Not to say it doesn't sell nice produce but we found the prices reflected the touristy appeal, so we bought our fruit from a supermarket after this and ate breakfast across the road from the side entrance at the Confeiteria do Bolhao, for instance, at probably half the prices! Worth a visit for the experience, I'd say.
