Viana do Castelo's council is marking European Mobility Week until Tuesday with a programme of events, including an electric car showcase, cycling workshops and children's activities. On Tuesday, for European Car Free Day, Avenida dos Combatentes da Grande Guerra will be closed to traffic from 09:30 to 17:00. That day, TUViana bus services and the Santa Luzia funicular will be free, with live music aboard several bus lines. Separately, TUViana is visiting secondary schools across the municipality this month with a mini-bus to register users, renew passes and answer questions from students and staff.
