By nightfall, consider yourself invited: create your favourite itineraries through Porto and be dazzled by the Christmas lighting all across town.
Keep your holidays spirits even brighter by visiting the 55 boulevards and plazas, dressed up in warm white and blue light delicate shapes, stars and ornaments, bells and swings for the outdoor.
Energy efficiency as well as a good environmental performance are a must, with the use of LED technology and 1.95 million micro lamps for a magical atmosphere.
All light paths lead to Aliados, where the Christmas tree shines brighter.
