OFFICIAL WOOL ROADMAP
After the end of each edition of WOOL | Covilhã Urban Art, we make the Official WOOL Roadmap available. You can find it on paper at A Tentadora, the WOOL headquarters, at the Covilhã Tourist Office or at our partners’ establishments. Enjoy the visit!
WOOL MAP
Discover all the places in Portugal and beyond where WOOL has already made its mark! It includes places as far away as the small, exotic island of Djerba in Tunisia or the cities of Paris and Roubaix in France, the latter a twinned city of the city of Covilhã.

TALK2me
In the 2021 edition, celebrating 10 years of WOOL, we partnered with NEST Portugal | Tourism Innovation Center to develop the Talk2me platform, which allows each visitor to talk directly and at any time with the murals that make up the WOOL Route. By scanning the QR Code next to each mural, visitors will be able to find out in greater detail all the stories, specificities and curiosities of each of the works that inhabit the historic center of the city of Covilhã (in Portuguese and English).
WOOL | wall by wall
Launched during the 10th edition of WOOL (2023), this is the result of the collaboration with the IT Department of UBI – University of Beira Interior. It is a mobile APP which, through gamification (filling in a booklet), aims to arouse interest in discovering the WOOL Urban Art Route and Covilhã.
