Forget the long wait for Christmas markets. Less than 30 kilometers from Porto, there is a haven that seems straight out of a springtime fairy tale . In Vila do Conde, the elves have given way to flowers, and Santa Claus has handed over the keys to the city to the most eagerly awaited resident of the season: the Easter Bunny .
The Enchanted Easter Market opened its doors on March 21 and runs through April 12, catering to kids and adults alike, with a special focus on families. Set in Jardim Júlio Graça, the market invites visitors into a world of discovery, where nature takes center stage.
Market Highlights

The program is extensive, featuring the “Nature’s Helpers” workshop ( organized by the Vila do Conde Science Center, the CMIA—Center for Environmental Monitoring and Interpretation, and the Vila do Conde Vocational School) and an Easter egg hunt.
Also worth noting is the After Market —which aims to extend the experience for those visiting Vila do Conde—as well as the 1st Vila do Conde Children’s and Youth Book Fair, among other highlights that make the Enchanted Easter Market a very special place.
