What a lovely project. It's light hearted and whimsical and very very impactful. Several alleys are covered with colorful umbrellas that dance a little in the wind, provide shade and breathe life into an area that I for one would have never known about or visited. There seems to be daily concerts in an umbrella covered stage nearby throughout July (check out their website for schedule). The merchants and homes in the area seem to have really embraced the Umbrella Sky Project and have decorated their shops and homes with colorful umbrellas. This project seems to have inspired a lot of other urban artwork to emerge and flourish in the area from painted stairs and lampposts to murals, street art and yarn covered bikes. A lovely visit about an hour drive from Porto.

For future visitors to Águeda, Portugal: Discover the enchanting Umbrella Festival in Águeda, a captivating event held only during the summer months. While the initial month buzzes with excitement, I found the quieter moments toward the festival’s end equally magical. The unique spectacle of colorful umbrellas suspended above narrow streets creates an unforgettable atmosphere. Don’t miss this extraordinary experience!” 🌂🌟 Whether you’re a photography enthusiast or simply seeking an offbeat adventure, Águeda’s umbrella-covered streets promise a delightful and whimsical journey.

We came to Agueda to see the umbrellas but the only the ones by the hostel were up. We were disappointed but we did enjoy exploring the city using the app with all of the artwork locations as a scavenger hunt. We discovered the app at the tourism info centre and used the free wifi to download. Some of the app locations are misplaced and we had trouble finding a few. Some of the locations had interactive elements where the artwork became animated. Very clever. Overall it was a great way to explore the city.

Visited for Agitagueda. I make a point of visiting at least once during the 3 weeks of July. Weekends are special.i love the Carnival which parades down the main street and has hundreds of participants,many interactive with the spectators and children,with many samba groups larger than life characters and a huge moving dragon. This year I specifically came to watch,'The Stranglers' perform at night which was a fantastic non stop hour and half of top quality music. The atmosphere is great for all ages.

Agueda... aussi connu comme le Umbrella Sky Project... Au Portugal, il ny a pas que les grandes villes qui sont convoitées. Mais aussi les petites villes qui ont du charme et Agueda en fait parti. Aussi connu comme le Umbrella Town pour son légendaire Umbrella Sky Project, Agueda est devenue une ville tres attractive grâce à son aspect coloré qui la caractérise. Ici, il faut impérativement avoir la tête dans les nuages. Eh oui, car tout se passe au dessus de vos têtes. Il suffit de lever les yeux pour etre eblouis..Car dans chaque ruelle, il y a des toiles de tissus de toutes les couleurs suspendues aux bâtiments pour en faire des toiles magnifiques suspendu dans le ciel ainsi que des fils colorés et rubans et évidemment, les parasols colorés qui mettront des étoiles dans vos yeux. Ici, il faut prendre son temps et admirer ce que moi j'appelle la vie en couleur, tel un arc en ciel. Pour y aller à partir de Porto, il faut prendre les trains de banlieue en direction de Agueda. Pour ma part, j'avais combiné deux visites dans le même coin. Je vous conseille donc en 1er lieu de visiter Aveiro, aussi connu comme la petite Venise du Portugal. De Porto, prenez le train jusqu'à Aveiro, descendez a la gare et marcher vers le centre ville qui se trouve à environ 15 min a pied. Une fois Aveiro terminée, retournez à la gare pour prendre le train en direction de Agueda. Vous ne le regretterez pas. Bonne visite.

Today the stunning brightly coloured Águeda & Umbrella Sky Project, Urban Street Art & pretty park. We introduced Teanna to our favourite cafe on coloured rain street with probably the largest cachorro (hot dog) one can consume. We followed up with traditional Portuguese cakes in the park and tasty icecream in the glorious sun. Magical perfect day despite a horrendous toothache from hell!
