Outdoor activities take centre stage these summer days, for sure, so what to say about evening activities outdoors? Reserve your place at the event and it can go one of two ways, you can love or you can love it! 

Join the Natural History and Science Museum of the University of Porto for a night tour at the Jardim Botânico do Porto, under the "À noite no jardim" activity ["At night in the Garden", free translation], which will lead to discovering the multitude of fauna life in the Botanical Garden, namely insects, bats, birds and amphibians as well as nocturnal plants.

Today, 21st July, participants will have a go at exploring the paths that are brimming with animals and plants, particularly the over 700 species of the camellia flower that fit to the garden in Porto. Porto Botanical Garden was awarded the International Architecture Awards 2019. There will be another session on 28th July, as well as on 11th, 18th and 25th August and on 8th, 14th, 22nd and 19th September. All sessions are scheduled for 9pm.

Reserve your place at the event and it can go one of two ways, you can love or you can love it!

Participation is free, but previous appointment is mandatory via email visitas@mhnc.up.pt, as capacity is limited to ten people per session.
