Culture in the city
Viseu Garden City: A title more than 80 years old
A walk through the city is more than simply a chance to enjoy the streets and alleyways. It is the best way to feel the essence of the city, through sounds, smells, tastes and exchanging glances. Essentially, it is to feel the very pulse of a place. Gardens are an ode to the senses, an explosion of feelings and unrepeatable experiences. From the cool of the green to the surrounding warmth, each garden is a unique space full of life.
