Get walking again

The benefits of physical activity are numerous, from the prevention of cardiovascular disease to the positive effects on emotional well-being.

In 2002, according to the Eurobarometer report on sport and physical activity, 73% of Portuguese people reported never exercising or playing sports.

Walking on your daily commute, along with using public transport, has a positive impact on health by increasing physical and social activity. It also has a positive environmental impact by reducing carbon emissions.

Walking in the city can be a transformative habit, enjoying the squares and gardens to stroll around and making bonds with the community and local businesses.
