"It is an excellent space that will facilitate the arrival of national and international tourists to the territory", said the president of Turismo Porto e Norte de Portugal, Luís Pedro Martins, who took the opportunity to get to know the new space of the city of Famalicão.
The responsible highlighted the touristic potential of Famalicão, namely regarding literary tourism very focused in Camilo Castelo Branco, but also to industrial tourism not only in the perspective of archaeology, but as well in the perspective of technology.
"Famalicão is in the front line. It is even the municipality that has contributed the most to create a regional visiting network as far as industrial tourism is concerned", underlined Luís Pedro Martins.
Paulo Cunha stressed the importance of having the Tourist Office “is integrated in the Square because this space is a reference and a touristic centre for Famalicão. It is one of the entrance doors to the county and the interaction between the two spaces is very advantageous and beneficial”.

The Shop is composed with three floors, with the reception desk on the ground floor. On the lower floor, there is an interactive table where the main tourist attractions of the county can be seen. This floor gives access to the Municipal Market.
