What you can expect

We will start in Guimarães, known as the cradle of the Portuguese nation. The first stop will be at the imposing Guimarães Castle, a medieval fortress dating back to the X century where you will delve into the rich history of the place.

Next, we will visit the Paço dos Duques de Bragança, an XV-century palace that was the residence of the Portuguese royal family. With its stunning architecture and authentic furnishings, the Palace offers a fascinating insight into the aristocratic life of the time.

After exploring Guimarães, we will leave for Braga, a city full of tradition and religiosity. There, we will visit the Sanctuary of Bom Jesus do Monte, a pilgrimage site famous for its monumental staircase and the beautiful garden that surrounds it. Climbing the steps to the top is a unique and rewarding experience, with stunning views of the city.

In the historic center of Braga, you will have the opportunity to explore its picturesque streets, admire the baroque architecture, and visit the majestic Braga Cathedral, one of the oldest in Portugal.

Throughout the tour, our expert guide will be on hand to provide historical information and interesting facts about the places visited, ensuring you make the most of this cultural experience.
