Night Run: Torres Vedras Night Run / Urban Trail

For those who want to combine sports with an urban experience, this race usually takes place during the City Festivities, offering the opportunity to discover Torres Vedras at night, in a festive and lively atmosphere.

It’s an original way to explore the city from a different perspective, combining movement, socializing, and collective energy.

Exhibition: 25 Years of the Torres Vedras Natural History Society 

Throughout the month, the Leonel Trindade Municipal Museum hosts an exhibition dedicated to this society’s contributions to the study of nature. Featuring fossils, geology collections, local biology, and pieces illustrating regional biodiversity, it is an excellent suggestion for a calmer or rainy day.

In addition to the cultural program, we recommend exploring the Lines of Torres Vedras, a set of historic fortifications that defended Lisbon during the Napoleonic Invasions. There are hiking trails, points of interest, and guided tours that allow you to better understand this highly significant military heritage.
