Nothing compares to this perfect summer weekend escape with Ágora

Picture this: breeze drifting on by, blue skies and a warm day that will help you welcome the Municipal free outdoor physical and wellness activities that will boost stamina and resilience (don’t we all need it?!). How less stressful do you feel already?

There are several activities to suit your liking and choice, such as Pilates, Yoga, tai chi, De Rose Method and Walks in Porto’s lovely green spaces. Apply until Friday to you chosen activity.

This weekend, on 17 and 18 July, there will be another round of open air activities, under the “Dias com Energia” (“Days with Energy”, free translation) and the “Domingos em Forma” (“Sundays in Shape”, free translation), promoted by Ágora all year long. The outlining goal is to raise people’s awareness on in the importance of leading an active lifestyle and practising some type of physical activity.

Participants of all ages are welcome to join. Applications are done via email to desporto@agoraporto.pt (stating name of participants and programme, venue and chosen session) until 5.30 p, on Friday.
