“I loved the stadium tour. I thought my e voucher would have allowed me to enter. I didn't know I had to present it at the nail reception to gey other tickets. I could have done straight away as early. I found the museum hard to follow and I couldn't hear the audio clearly with the very high music..but it was fantastic. Best of luck to FC Porto!”

We had seen many images on the internet of pavement artists who have created "trompe l'oeil" images in chalk, and from the 3D Fun Art Museum's website, this looked very promising. And we were NOT disappointed at all. Some of the scenes in real life seem improbable, but allow yourself to be impressed. Really, the more you allow yourself to get into the image, the better the final 2 dimensional image on your phone will look. Go on, give it a try! For most people, what this venue offers is…”
