Portuguese term or phrase: suas passagens pela cidade
Preciso traduzir para o inglês a frase: "Eles serão convidados a contar as histórias ocorridas na cidade ou suas passagens por XXX (nome da cidade)".
Estou tendo dificuldade para traduzir essas "passagens por XX".
É para um projeto acadêmico, então não pode ser informal.
Podem me ajudar?

a contar as histórias ocorridas na cidade ou suas passagens por XXX
to share stories of their travels in XXX


Explanation:
The Portuguese here strikes me as redundant, as it is hard for me to see much of a difference between "as histórias ocorridas na cidade" and "suas passagens por XXX." The English I propose is natural and seems to faithfully express the underlying idea of the original.
