Viseu is a municipality in the district of Viseu (sub-region: Viseu Dão Lafões), covering 507 km² in 25 parishes. 68 % of it is forest land (woodland, scrub or natural pasture, according to the COS 2025 land-cover map): there, the strip around each house is 50 m wide.
The map finds 507 villages (groups of at least 10 buildings); the largest are Viseu, Abraveses and Vila Chã de Sá. 163 of them have forest land on more than half of the 100 m strip around them, among them Queirela, Póvoa de Medronhosa and Carragoso.
