The municipal program “Porto is Beautiful! – Tourist Routes +65” continues with visits for seniors, this time to the World of Discoveries museum. This initiative is scheduled for September 27, at 3pm.
Once a month, this municipal leisure time project, aimed at seniors from Porto’s Private Social Solidarity Institutions (IPSS), opens up to senior citizens in general, offering participants guided tours of the city’s heritage, experiences of great interest and cultural enrichment, but also of socialization and citizenship. Participation by the general public, aged 65 or over and living in the city of Porto, is free of charge, but prior registration is required by Friday, September 22.
Registrations are limited and will be considered on a first-come, first-served basis.
