Street artists may perform freely within the rules in article 165 of the urban policing and trading standards regulations (city council resolution no. 54 of 29 Oct. 2013).
Street artists may perform anywhere in the municipal territory, including pedestrian precincts and public parks, but they must keep away from the following places:

- rest homes;
- hospitals;
- schools during teaching hours;
- places of worship during religious ceremonies.
Street artists must not use sound amplifiers. No animal(s), of any species, may be used during performances.
Any donations must be collected only in the place where the performance takes place, using containers placed on the ground.
Times
Street artists may perform between 9 am and 1 pm and between 3.30 pm and 10 pm.
Musical performances, of whatever kind, must last at most 2 hours in the same place.
After that, the performers must move at least 400 metres away.
In any case, street artists must not hold musical performances and must not obstruct road or pedestrian traffic or commercial activities when concerts, performances or exhibitions are being held by public bodies or private organisers with permission from the city council.
