​Calls to fight climate change have been growing louder around the world, and electric mobility has indisputably come into vogue. However, the silent, charming zero-emission tramcars have actually been running on tracks here in Porto for more than a century!

Let's head down 'memory tracks' and unveil the past to see how people used to move around the Porto urban area when run-commuting wasn't yet popular— is it even popular now?

Jump in and hold on for a glimpse of the STCP Tram Museum & Depot. The museum is housed in a building that was once a coal power plant; this not-so-green facility was responsible for powering the entire tram network!

 Remnants of Porto's rich transit history can be found under the feet of joggers and walkers who make their way to the oceanfront or in the city's historic centre: the old tramcar tracks are omnipresent, some still active, others long since decommissioned. ​

Stepping off the plane in a new city can be an exhilarating experience, filled with the promise of discovery and some adventure! While traditional sightseeing and guided walking tours certainly have its merits, imagine a way to immerse yourself in the heart of a place while doing something you love: running!

This is the magic of a running tour, a great way to explore a city like Porto or any other, offering so much more than just a quick jog. Lets delve into that!
