Can I bring my dog to Aquário?
We have no confirmed information for Aquário specifically. As a general rule, dogs are not allowed on Portuguese beaches during the bathing season, which is set each year by ministerial order and is not the same at every beach, except where a dedicated dog area exists; outside that period the rules are considerably more relaxed. Each municipality decides by local bylaw, so check with the Porto town council or the signs on site.
