Maia is the municipality directly north of Porto. Its centre is modern and planned, grouped around the Fórum da Maia and the tall city hall tower, and it is surrounded by residential neighbourhoods with more space and more green than the city offers.
It is a place of work as much as of living. Porto's airport lies on the western edge of the municipality, and large business parks and company headquarters sit along the motorways. Families value the schools, the sports facilities and the Maia zoo.
Metro line C links Fórum Maia with Trindade in about half an hour. By car the ring road, the airport and the motorways to Braga and Vigo are minutes away, which is why many people who travel for work settle here.
