Do you recognize this famous rabbit sculpture? 🤔 Do you recognize this famous rabbit sculpture? 🤔

While many people assume it’s located in Porto, you’ll actually find it across the river in Vila Nova de Gaia 🌉

It’s very impressive to see from the distance, but don’t forget to get up close to it as well so you can see just how detailed this street art really is 🇵🇹
