National Day of Historic City Centres celebrates culture and traditions

National Day of Historic City Centres is officially marked on March 28, but the city of Porto celebrates its heritage on the closest Saturday to the date of this event. As such, on 24 March, the city of Porto features a festivities programme to get people involved and interested on the city historic centre and assets.

Porto Historic Centre was declared World Heritage by UNESCO in 1996. This special day offers an opportunity to get to know the cultural patrimony of the city as well as its fantastic history.

It is the right opportunity to visit hidden places and try out new experiences celebrating the city's history and architecture.
