From
Highlights
This experience aims to provide an accessible tour through the central area of Porto, recalling impactful moments that defined LGBTQIAP+ history in the city. This queertour is goven by a gay person native to this city who has experienced these events throughout his 39 years of life. It's an intimate experience that focuses on the social evolution and awareness of the community over the years and how the city began its journey towards inclusion.
We will embark together on a journey remembering facts and analyzing the paradox between two times and destinations in the history of the LGBTQIAP+ community: the 80s to the present day.
We will visit different tourist spots that at first glance we would not realize their impact on the community and visit inclusive spaces.
We will end with a conversation at one of the best known spots in Porto, where we can better understand the legacy and activism carried out by those who fought, so that this excursion could exist today in an openly gay way.
