Breathe Viana

Viana do Castelo is favoured by the fate of possessing breath-taking natural landscapes which are the result of a sublime combination of sea, river, and mountain. It is also characterized by the beauty of its beaches, which stretch along 24km of coast.

In such a peculiar context, nature tourism has become increasingly important in this territory, which has been able to preserve and divulge its vastness of natural riches. In fact, Viana do Castelo has a set of “ecovias,” (paths) trails, and natural landscapes which fully justify a long visit; be it for the opportunity to participate in sport or leisure activities or simply to rest.

Viana do Castelo has bet on its natural heritage as a secret to success, attracting visitors, tourists, and athletes from the four corners of the world. In addition to being sustainable, nature tourism values what Viana best has to offer: enjoy the green of the mountains, the waves of the sea, the potential of the river, and the force of the wind.

The Council has invested in the promotion of its territory as an excellent destination for those who love nature tourism. This goes hand in hand with sport tourism and in this context, as Viana do Castelo is a seaside city, sports connected to the river and the sea are part of its trademark. Taking advantage of the city’s four nautical centers (rowing, canoeing, surfing and sailing) captivate more and more the visitors who choose this city to do sport and live a healthy lifestyle.

In truth, whether for tourism or sports, the two existing ecovias in Viana offer distinct experiences, but both are of great natural beauty. The well-structured trail network allows the hiker to find himself, foot by foot, through the relationship with nature and local communities. Among Viana’s trails, one can also find refreshing streams and waterfalls, with landscapes of unmatched charm.
