History[edit]

Póvoa de Varzim was a Northern Portugal's upper-class beach resort in the 19th century, before the popularization of sea baths and sun baths by the general population, and a prominent site for gambling, with seventeen casinos, frequently in the back-doors of cafés and pubs, the most famous of which was Café Chinês ('Chinese Café'), known in Portugal for its exotic decoration and Spanish dancers. Others were Café Suíço, Café David, Café Universal, and Luso-Brasileiro. Camilo Castelo Branco recurrently visited Póvoa de Varzim to gamble.

The regulation of gambling in the city occurred in early 20th century, and the construction of Póvoa Casino started on February 28, 1930 when an Garnier-inspired modernist building started being built. The casino opened four years later and soon started to be seen as the pro-eminent casino in northern Portugal. The hotel for the casino was built next to it, in Passeio Alegre Square.

Casino da Póvoa is licensed to Varzim Sol since December, 2001. Varzim Sol's major shareholder is Estoril Sol, a company majority-owned by Chinese gambling king Stanley Ho and Amorim group. Prior to Stanley Ho's investments in Póvoa de Varzim, it was licensed to Sopete (Sociedade Poveira de Empreendimentos Turísticos).

Povoa de Varzim is a modern resort town that is popular with Portuguese tourists and day trippers. The town’s main appeal is the beach, and it is a wonderful beach, with golden sands and clear waters that extend along the entire length of Povoa de Varzim.

The older Portuguese adore this region and have flocked to live here, resulting in the development of bland high-rise apartments, each vying for the best views of the coastline.
This excessive construction has largely suffocated the charm of Povoa de Varzim, but visitors seeking culture can still get glimpse into the past by visiting the Câmara Municipal, the Castelo da Póvoa and the Igreja Matriz.

Povoa de Varzim is primarily focused for Portuguese visitors, and offers a good selection of hotels, restaurants and has a buzzing nightlife during the summer.

For foreign visitors, the main draw will always be the beach, but there is a historic centre and pleasant shopping streets. The town is also well connected to the metro network making it easily accessible from Porto, and a good choice for a day on the beach.
This article will provide an introduction to Povoa de Varzim.

Why visit Povoa de Varzim?

Povoa de Varzim is a destination to spend relaxed days on the beach and social nights in the wide range of restaurants and bars. It is a great choice for your holiday, if you are seeking a purely beach-based holiday that offers exceptional value for money, has good tourist facilities and is a full immersion into Portuguese culture.

For a day trip, the focus will be the outstanding beaches, while the handful of minor historic monuments are only a side attraction.

The Castelo da Póvoa is positioned above the harbour and once guarded the town against pirate raids. Further inland is the Igreja Matriz, a baroque church that contains a beautiful rococo styled altar. The Póvoa de Varzim museum is housed in a traditional manor house and has exhibits detailing the region’s history, and displays artefacts discovered within the castle.

The Câmara Municipal (town hall), is the much-photographed building that sits on the Praça do Almada, the main plaza of Póvoa de Varzim. One sight not to miss are the beautiful azulejos tile paintings (Painéis de Azulejos) that line the beach wall on the Praia do Leixão. These beautiful paintings depict the fishing heritage of Póvoa de Varzim. One of the best activities of Castelo da Póvoa is simply strolling along the beachfront promenade.

The beaches of Povoa de Varzim

The entire western coastline of the Povoa de Varzim municipality is one continuous sandy beach, which extends for over 9km from Vila do Conde in the south, to Esposende and the municipality border in the north. The Povoa de Varzim coastline is characteristic of the Costa Verde region, with vast beaches, powerful Atlantic waters, and frequent bracing winds.

Within walking distance of Povoa de Varzim town are two distinct sections of beach; the Avenida dos Banhos beaches, and Enseada da Lagoa (Logoa bay) beaches. These are the finest beaches of Povoa de Varzim and are free from the rocks and jagged outcrops that are found along the water’s edge on most of the region’s beaches.

At the southern end of the Avenida dos Banhos is the casino and main tourist centre of Povoa de Varzim, and is the closest beach to the metro station. Enseada da Lagoa has more apartments than hotels, but both sections of the beach will be busy during the summer months. The central beaches are ideal for families, and during the summer the waters are supervised by lifeguards.

Further north the beaches become quieter, but there are rocks along the water’s edge, making them not suitable for surfing or body boarding. At the far north, around the Praia do Quião, the beaches have
