  • 5/5 Hernani D. 2 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Nothing like "living history" had no idea of ​​the enormous size and cargo space this type of vessel had. Seeing up close and thinking how it was possible to build this type of boat with technologies available in the 1500s is truly amazing. It's worth the visit and it's also very affordable. The cost is €2 for a visit to the museum and also to Nau. (Original) Nada como "viver a história" não tinha ideia do enorme tamanho e espaço de carga que este tipo de embarcação tinha. Ver de perto e pensar como era possível a contrução deste tipo de barco com tecnologias disponíveis em 1500 é defacto espantoso. Vale a visita e é também muito acessível o custo são 2€ permite a visita ao museu e também à Nau.

    Replica of a 1500s ship. Interesting to visit, but hard to imagine how life on the boat might have been like, because there is no labelling whatsoever. Good for kids, as they are allowed to climb the many ladders and explore every nook and cranny. Not a good option if one has any type of mobility issues. Tickets are 2€ (September 2022) and include entry to the museum.

    In my opinion, one of the best things in Vila do Conde. The ship (which is a new one, but built exactly like an antique one) is definitely worth a visit. Even if you won't have a guide or explanation signs, the ship is very well made and makes you feel the atmosphere of the Portuguese sailors. The ticket has to be bought in the museum in front of the ship and it's just 2€ (you will also gets access to the museum)

    (Translated by Google) One of the beautiful places in Vila do Conde council. The ship is anchored by the river, and from some angles it is possible to see other sights of the place, such as the Santa Clara monastery just above. The river has a beautiful edge, and a few meters further on, the mouth flows into the sea. Makes for a nice walk. (Original) Um dos belos lugares no conselho de Vila do Conde. A nau fica aconfrada junto ao rio, e de alguns ângulos é possível ver outros pontos turísticos do local como o mosteiro de Santa Clara logo acima. O rio tem uma bela orla, e alguns metros adiante a foz desagua no mar. Rende uma bela caminhada.

    (Translated by Google) Nau Quinhentista, a replica of a Portuguese vessel career of the North Atlantic from the early sixteenth century, was designed by Admiral Rogério d'Oliveira and built in shipyards Samuel & Sons, which until 1993 stood on this site even transferring this year for Azurara on the other side of Rio Ave. with 27.50 meters in length, 7.70 mouth (width) of 4.75 spit (height) and a weight of about 300 and 180 tons load, this attraction was part of the municipality's candidacy for a European pilot project, entitled "Viagem à Rosa dos Ventos", which promoted the restoration of the riverside area, where the shipyards used to be. Founded in the summer of 2007, it was inaugurated on December 15 of the same year by the then president of the republic, Aníbal Cavaco Silva. Inside one can witness several reproductions of life on board at the time, such as the living quarters of the crew, locations and forms of storage of goods, provision of cartographic material and aid instruments for navigation, artillery pieces, ballast, between others, to represent the complexity faced by sailors on their journeys at sea. (Original) A Nau Quinhentista, uma réplica de uma embarcação Portuguesa da carreira do Atlântico Norte de inícios do século XVI, foi projetada pelo Almirante Rogério d'Oliveira e construida nos estaleiros Samuel & Filhos, que até 1993 se situavam neste mesmo local transferindo-se nesse ano para a Azurara, na outra margem do Rio Ave. Com 27,50 metros de comprimento, 7,70 de boca (largura), 4,75 de pontal (altura), e um peso de cerca de 300 toneladas e 180 de carga, esta atração fez parte da candidatura do município a um projeto-piloto europeu, intitulada "Viagem à Rosa dos Ventos", que promoveu o restauro da zona ribeirinha, onde outrora se encontravam os estaleiros. Fundeada no verão de 2007, foi inaugurada em 15 de Dezembro do mesmo ano pelo então presidente da república, Aníbal Cavaco Silva. No seu interior pode-se testemunhar várias reproduções da vida a bordo naquele tempo, tais como os aposentos dos tripulantes, locais e formas de armazenamento de mercadorias, disposição de material cartográfico e de instrumentos de ajuda à navegação, peças de artilharia, lastro, entre outros, de forma a representar a complexidade enfrentada pelos navegantes nas suas viagens em alto mar.

    Nice little museum, but unfortunately all the explanations are in Portuguese only. As to the ship itself, it looks impressive, but its difficult to imagine how Vasco da Gama could cross the ocean in such a nutshell....

  • 3/5 Artur V. 1 year ago on Google
    Built in 2007 in the waters of Rio Ave, the replica of the 16th century ship, built by the shipyards Samuel & Filhos, LDA, from Vila do Conde, is an important and precious complement to the Museum Régia Museum nucleus - Museum of Shipbuilding. In addition to an important element of tourist and playful attraction, it has a pedagogical function, because, built with the greatest respect for the scientific investigations of the responsibility of Admiral Rogério D 'Oliveira, incorporates the ancestral knowledge of carpenters and calafates of the VilaConde watches.

  • 4/5 Sabine S. 2 years ago on Google
    Man geht in das dazu gehörige Museum und holt sich ein kostenloses Ticket. Es wird genau beschrieben wie der Bau der Schiffe von statten ging und die Historie des Schiffsbaues erklärt. Anschließend kann man den Nachbau der Vila do Conde aus dem 16 .Jahrhundert auf dem Wasser anschauen. Sehr interessant, besonders für Kinder.

    Had a great time getting to know the ship and watching a live acting/performance talking a little about how it would have been travelling in one of those.. The little village surrounding it (Santa Clara metro) is also lovely and worth a visit..
