Where exactly in Porto do your graffiti workshops take place?

Our workshops are typically held in accessible locations within central Porto, often in areas like Cedofeita or Bonfim. Specific venue details are confirmed upon booking, ensuring ease of access via public transport or car.

Can we combine the workshop with a visit to a Port wine cellar?

Absolutely. Many groups choose to combine their workshop with a visit to one of the renowned Port wine cellars across the Douro River in Vila Nova de Gaia. We can suggest timings to facilitate this.

Is the workshop suitable for a corporate team outing near the city centre?

Yes, our workshops are ideal for corporate team outings in Porto. We can tailor the content to focus on team building and collaboration, and our venues are typically well-connected to the city's business districts.

How do we get to the workshop location from Campanhã train station?

From Campanhã, you can easily reach our workshop locations via the Metro do Porto or local STCP buses. We will provide detailed directions and public transport advice with your booking confirmation.

Are there any specific street art areas in Porto we could explore after the workshop?

After your workshop, you could explore the areas around Cedofeita or parts of Bonfim, where you might find interesting murals and street art pieces. The local arts scene is dynamic and always evolving.

What if our group is staying near the Ribeira district?

If your group is staying near the Ribeira district, our workshop locations will be easily reachable by a short walk, public transport, or a quick taxi ride. Porto's city centre is relatively compact and well-connected.

I've never done graffiti before; can I still join?

Absolutely! Most of our guests in Porto have never touched a spray can before. Our professional artists start with the basics, from how to hold the can to mastering pressure control. We provide a safe, supportive environment where 'mistakes' are just part of the art. You'll be amazed at how quickly you can create something impressive with just a few expert tips.

What should I wear to the workshop?

Wear something you don't mind getting a bit of 'character' on! While we provide high-quality protective overalls and gloves, aerosol mist is sneaky and can travel. It's best to wear comfortable old clothes and closed-toe shoes. Avoid your favourite designer sneakers or expensive jackets just to be safe while you're unleashing your inner Banksy on the streets of Porto.

Is it safe to use spray paint?

Safety is our top priority. We provide professional-grade FFP2 or FFP3 masks to filter out fumes, along with protective gloves and body suits. Our workshops take place in well-ventilated outdoor areas or specially equipped indoor spaces. Our artists are also trained in safety protocols to ensure everyone has a blast without any risks. You're in very safe, expert hands.

Do I need to pay in advance?

We are one of the few providers that doesn't require upfront payment for most bookings. You can book your spot and pay after the workshop is completed! We believe in the quality of our Porto experiences so much that we want you to be 100% satisfied before the transaction is finalised. It's all about trust and making sure you have the best time possible.

What happens if it rains on the day?

We've got you covered! Porto’s weather can be unpredictable, but our creativity isn't. We have access to several covered or indoor locations across the city that allow us to keep painting even if it rains. If the weather is truly extreme, we can reschedule or move to a fully indoor studio setup, ensuring your street art experience remains top-notch regardless of the clouds.

How long does a typical session last?

Standard workshops usually last between 1.5 to 3 hours. This gives us enough time for a brief history of Porto's street art scene, a demonstration of techniques, individual practice, and the final creation of your masterpiece. If you're looking for a more intensive session or a quick 'taster', we can adjust the timing to fit your group's specific schedule.

Can you accommodate large groups or corporate events?

Yes! Whether you're a small family of 4 or a massive corporate team of 100, we have the capacity to host you. For very large groups, we bring in multiple artists and set up several 'spraying stations' to ensure everyone gets plenty of hands-on time and personal instruction. Porto is a great city for big groups, and we have the gear to match!

Reaching our Porto workshops

Porto is well-served by various transport options. For those arriving by train, Campanhã is the main railway station, offering connections from across Portugal. São Bento station, known for its azulejo tiles, is more central and serves regional lines. From both stations, public transport networks, including the Metro do Porto and STCP buses, provide easy access to most parts of the city.

If travelling by car, Porto is connected by major motorways such as the A1 from Lisbon and the A4 from the east. Parking can be found in various underground car parks throughout the city centre. For groups arriving by coach, drop-off points can be arranged in advance near workshop locations. Francisco Sá Carneiro Airport (OPO) is Porto's international airport, located just a short Metro journey or taxi ride from the city centre, making it convenient for international visitors.

Lokale Kultur

Porto has a growing and increasingly recognised street art scene, although it is perhaps not as globally famous for graffiti as some other European capitals. What stands out is its integration with the city's unique architectural heritage. You can discover large-scale murals in various neighbourhoods, often on gable walls or underpasses, transforming overlooked spaces into vibrant canvases. The city council has, in some instances, supported public art initiatives, encouraging local and international artists to contribute to Porto's visual landscape.

Areas like the arts district around Miguel Bombarda street or parts of Bonfim often feature interesting pieces. It is a city where new works regularly appear, adding layers to its urban fabric. Our workshops aim to connect participants with this evolving local context, providing insight into the techniques and intentions behind the street art they might encounter while exploring Porto's charming streets and alleys.
