Discover the soul of local shops

This year, Comércio Fora do Sítio invites you to step into the creative heart of local shops.

Join free guided tours through unexpected pairings of shops, where you will encounter original, poetic, and surprising window displays — the result of unique collaborations between artists and shopowners.

Each tour offers a sensory experience, led by guides who unveil the behind-the-scenes stories of each concept. Most special of all, you will have the opportunity to meet the window designers themselves — creators with distinctive backgrounds in the arts, design, scenography, and visual merchandising — and to hear, firsthand, the inspirations, references, and stories behind each display.
