Itinerary

  • Porto (Pass By)

    Your expert guide will collect you from your hotel/accommodation or meeting point and will drive you to GuimarĂ£es. On your way to GuimarĂ£es, the guide will give you insights regarding the Portuguese history, development and cultural facts of portuguese heritage.

  • Guimaraes

    GuimarĂ£es is considered the birthplace of Portugal because Afonso Henriques, who went on to be the first king of Portugal, was born here. The historical centre in the area that was within the GuimarĂ£es city walls, is associated with the formation and identity of Portugal, and was classified a World Heritage site based on the originality and authenticity applied in its restoration.

    1 hour

  • Guimaraes Castle

    The castle´s presence evokes the exciting mixture of legend, poetry and heroism that surrounds the beginning of Portuguese history. On this Monte Largo (Broad Hill) - referred to as alpis latitus in the Latin documents of the time - the nucleus of the future nation of Portugal was first developed. Enjoy a guided visit of the Castle with incredible views of the city from its walls.

    1 hour

  • Igreja de Sao Miguel do Castelo (Pass By)

    The small church of S. Miguel do Castelo was built in the 13th century. However, according to tradition, this church would have been built in the 12th century by Count Dom Henrique (Henry of Burgundy), where he would have baptised his son, the 1st King of Portugal Dom Afonso Henriques.

  • Paco dos Duques de Braganca (Pass By)

    The construction of the palace of the Dukes of Bragança, its design inspired by that of the typical French manor houses, was begun in the early 15th century. It was commissioned by D. Afonso de Barcelos, the first duke of Bragança and the bastard son of D. JoĂ£o, Master of Avis, the future king D. JoĂ£o I. Because the residence of the Dukes of Bragança was later moved to the Palace of Vila Viçosa, in the Alentejo, the building gradually fell into disrepair over the centuries until it was transformed into a military barracks in 1807. Admire from the outside this magnificent masterpiece. Admission is not included.

  • Centro Historico de Guimaraes

    The city still has a harmonious, well-preserved heritage that is evident in the graceful iron verandas, granite balconies and porticos, mansions, arches connecting the narrow streets, paving slabs smoothed by time, towers and cloisters. For a moment you might imagine yourself to be in a mediaeval setting, where the nobility built their houses over time, such as the Mota Prego house, the Vila Flor and Toural palaces, and the many others that give GuimarĂ£es its unique atmosphere. We will visit the heart of the city, Largo da Oliveira, where you find the PadrĂ£o do Salado and the Collegiate Church of Nossa Senhora da Oliveira, which houses the valuable Alberto Sampaio Museum. Passing the Paços Municipais (City Hall), crowned with battlements, enter the Praça de Santiago which in the Middle Ages welcomed pilgrims bound for Compostela, just as today it welcomes residents and tourists in its restaurants and terraces. The Convent of Santa Clara, the Casa do Arco and other stately houses are in Rua da Santa Maria, which links with the upper city.
