2024 Agueda Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in December)

The colorful and spectacular Umbrella Sky Project in Portugal is definitely worth a visit!

I've always wanted to go to the "Umbrella Sky Project" since I saw a photo of it online☂️ The umbrella festival is held every year from July to September in Agueda, Portugal. You can see this installation all over the world now, but this is probably the original🥰❤️ The umbrellas are different depending on the street and are cute! The transparent umbrellas also have nice shadows✨️ It's a wonderful feeling that no matter where you take a picture, it's a picture. The umbrellas reflected in the window are also beautiful🫶The paint on the stairs is stylish, and you can take photos that look like jacket photos📸 [How to get there🚗]┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈The umbrella festival in Portugal is quite difficult to access😨 It seems to be relatively easy to access from Porto, but we went from Lisbon so it took about 3 hours... Take the high-speed train from Santa Apolonia station to Aveiro. We change to a local line and head to Agueda. It's a two-car train. I'm a little worried, but we'll get there...! There were only two other passengers on the way there besides us. When I asked the station attendant at the station about the Agueda umbrella festival, he responded, "What's that?" And this is the unmanned ticket gate at Agueda station 😳 Very local...! It's about a 10-minute walk from here to the Umbrella Sky Project venue. There are no signs or maps, but if you walk down the main road with your back to the station, you'll eventually arrive. By the way, it's really rural. There are hardly any people. There is no place to buy tickets, so on the way back, you buy a ticket directly from the conductor on the train. It's a little difficult to get there, but I think it's worth seeing in person! If you have a chance to go to Portugal during the season, please do! #besttrip2023 #portugal #ageda #umbrellafestival #photogenicspot #europetrip
