AgitÁgueda Art Festival 2024

What To Do While You're in Town

Águeda is a small but historic town. In the 9th century, it was a bustling trading post. Today, it only has just over 14,000 inhabitants. In addition to admiring the old world architecture and immersing yourself in the local culture and cuisine, explore the Pateira de Fermentelos – the largest natural lagoon on the Iberian peninsula. There are also horseback riding tours available at the Abrigo D' Aventura – a popular tourist attraction.

What to Bring

You're going to want to document the many eye-catching public art installations and murals at the festival, so bring your camera. Also, there will be lots to explore on foot. Wear comfortable walking shoes and bring clothes you can get dirty in in case you want to participate in any of the athletic or outdoor activities.

What to Wear

Expect weather in the upper 70s (Fahrenheit) during the day and cooler temperatures at night, so bring a light jacket.

Getting There

Fly into Francisco Sá Carneiro Airport, which is about an hour-long drive from Águeda. You can rent a car upon your arrival, take the train, or even a taxi. If you have time during your trip to Portugal, the cities of Porto and Lisbon are also both accessible by train — both only two or three hours away.
