TALLEST CHRISTMASTREE IN EUROPE



On my recent trip to Porto (Portugal) I was stunned seeing the massive 76 metres tall steel Christmastree construction on one of the city's main squares.

This tallest tree in Europe weighs almost 300 tons and contains an incredible number of lights and neon, changing patterns every few seconds displaying beautiful candles, angels and christmas ornaments.

A beautiful spectacle ! The tree has a total of 2,400 microbulbs, 13,000 round bulbs, 28,000 metres of illuminated tubing, 500 metres of neon and 600 strobe lights.
Some videoclips of the opening night: Video 1 / Video 2
Enjoy,
