Location

The Aguieira Linear Park is located within the city of Viseu, specifically in the Municipal District area. This green space serves as a natural corridor, connecting urban areas and providing a peaceful environment for those seeking a moment of respite. Its location allows for harmonious integration with the surrounding urban fabric, while, however, retaining the feeling of a natural refuge.

A Railway Legacy

This park has an intrinsic connection with local history, developing along the route that once belonged to the old Ramal do Dão railway line. Traversing the Aguieira Linear Park is, in a way, to journey along the vestiges of a railway infrastructure that shaped the region's landscape and life. The path evokes the memory of the old Viseu CP Station, which was located nearby, lending a unique symbolism to the space.

An Active Path

Dedicated to movement and well-being, the Aguieira Linear Park offers an accessible and inviting path for various outdoor activities. With a reddish asphalt surface, the path is clearly marked, with a clear separation for both directions of travel. Its topography is practically flat, making it ideal for relaxing walks, runs, or bicycle rides, being a route harmoniously shared by pedestrians and cyclists.

Environment and Connection

Despite being in an urban setting, the Aguieira Linear Park stands out as a remarkable green patch, a lung in the city that offers a pleasant environment for leisure. Its linear structure not only provides a continuous path for physical activities, but also serves as an important link in Viseu's soft mobility network, connecting directly to the start of the Viseu Section of the Dão Ecopista. This connection offers the possibility of extending contact with nature and enjoying more extensive routes.
