Although the Christmas season is still some time away, we’ve already revealed some news about the festive season in Porto, as well as the dates for the city’s Christmas Market. In the meantime, we have one more piece of news to share: the return of Perlim.
Between November 23 and January 5, 2025, one of Portugal’s largest Christmas theme parks will once again spread its magic in the historic center of Santa Maria da Feira, just 20 minutes from the city of Porto. With different timetables and proposals, the Christmas festival offers a variety of attractions.

What can we expect from Perlim?
At the moment, we don’t know all the details of Perlim’s program. However, there is no age limit in this “Land of Dreams”, as kids and adults alike will want to have fun as a family and take lots of photos with the Perlim and Pimpim twins – the famous smile-spreading characters.
At Quinta do Castelo, in a setting worthy of a fairy tale, or it wouldn’t be near one of Portugal’s most beautiful medieval buildings, there’s plenty of entertainment waiting for visitors.
In addition, the organization has confirmed the following entertainment for Porto Secreto:
- Ice Rink – located in the heart of the city of Santa Maria da Feira, inviting children, adults and families to test their skating skills;
- Christmas Market – with aromas and flavors, traditional sweets and hot drinks, this is also a place to consider for those looking for more original and creative gifts;
- Poseidon Circus – an original show that transports the audience to the bottom of the seven seas in a combination of music, lights and acrobatic performances.

The attractions described above are part of a vast program to be announced soon, to celebrate the Christmas season in the best possible way. However, it should be noted that the theme park as a whole includes both paid and free activities (for example, the market is free to enter).
