If you love air shows, acrobatics, drones, music and unique experiences, you can’t miss Air Invictus.
On June 20 and 21, the skies over Porto and Gaia become a stage, with aircraft cutting across the horizon above the Douro River.
Do you remember the song by Os Azeitonas, sung by Miguel Araújo?
Come with me to watch the planes
Taking off
Tearing through the clouds
Tearing through the sky
This June, it will feel just like that.
