DOWNTOWN PORTO - NEW RUNNING TOUR
Lace up for this running tour through Porto’s mythological heart!
During the early 20th-century revivalism, the city adorned its grandest buildings with Classical deities, reflecting its soaring civic pride and merchant soul.
As we jog through the city, we’ll hunt for gods hidden in plain sight. It is the perfect chance to learn or rediscover the forgotten stories of the immortals: you’ll encounter Bacchus, the god of wine and festivity, and Themis, the stern goddess of justice. However, our true pace-setter is Mercury. As a legendary hub for trade, Porto adopted the winged messenger as its patron of commerce, making his image a frequent sight on the city’s facades.
These sculptures serve as a brilliant pretext to dive into the deeper legends of the "Invicta." Join us to sweat, learn, and discover Porto through the eyes of the gods!
