Sunday, 6th September, there is the second-to-last Sunday guided tour to discover iconic streets in Porto, and this next route leads to three streets in the Movida area, namely ruas do Conde de Vizela, Galerias de Paris and Cândido dos Reis.

City goers can take the opportunity to enjoy relaxing journeys that provide the necessary understanding of how a city works. From 2nd August till 13th September, the Municipality of Porto, via Ágora, in partnership with Portoalities, organise the "À descoberta da minha rua", something like "Discovering my street", which offer journeys every Sunday mornings, from 10am to 12 noon.

This initiative by Porto City Hall provides free tours to some of the most iconic areas in town, sharing some fun facts that you might not be aware of. The tour initiative is included in the summer programme by the municipality of Porto to enliven and to promote pedestrian areas in Porto this summer season.

The tours are promoted by the municipal company Ágora, in partnership with the blog Portoalities, and participation is free.

The last tour happens on 13th September and is designed for all age groups.

The tours comply with all the Covid-19 preventive measures, as issued by the Health Authorities and the use of face masks and social distancing of two metres is mandatory for the duration of the excursion.

Participants to the tours are accepted to the total of 19 people, and those interest should send an email to sara@portoalities.com, stating both full name and birth date.
