You’ll play through 18 creative mini golf holes set among local Porto artwork and shifting neon lights. Try your hand at pool or air hockey between rounds, relax with a drink at the bar, and swap stories with fellow travelers or locals—all equipment included. It’s playful, social, and surprisingly memorable.
I didn’t really expect to laugh so much at mini golf in Porto, but there we were—me, Ana, and two random guys from Lisbon who joined our group at the last minute. The place is tucked away near the center (easy to get to by tram), and when you walk in it’s sort of half art gallery, half playground. There’s this mix of natural sunlight slanting across some holes and then suddenly everything flips to UV neon, so your shirt glows weirdly and the balls look like little planets. I’m not sure if it was the lighting or the music but time felt a bit fuzzy in there.
The course itself isn’t just for pros—Ana kept saying she’d never played before but somehow beat us all on the trickiest hole (she claims it was luck). Our scorecards got smudged because someone spilled their drink (not naming names), but nobody cared much. One of the staff—Miguel, I think—showed us how to use the putters properly, though honestly I just winged it after that. Between rounds you can grab a drink at the bar; it smells like coffee and something sweet I couldn’t place. There’s also pool tables and air hockey if you want a break from golf. It’s all very come-as-you-are.
I still think about that moment under the neon lights when we all tried to pronounce “minigolfe” like locals—Miguel laughed so hard he nearly dropped his tray. The vibe is just easygoing: nobody rushing you, people chatting quietly in Portuguese or English. We stayed longer than planned because it started raining outside, but honestly? Didn’t mind at all.
