Description
We'll meet at the indicated time under the Arco da Porta Nova in Braga, and after approximately 30 minutes, we'll reach Guimarães. Our first visit will be the Castle of Guimarães, a 10th-century fort recognized as one of the Seven Wonders of Portugal, where we can climb and enjoy panoramic views while learning about the country’s history.
Next, we'll visit the Paço dos Duques de Bragança, a 15th-century palace showcasing the Portuguese nobility's grandeur, featuring tapestries, period furniture, and medieval weapons.
Continuing in the historic centre of Guimarães, we will walk through narrow streets, passing traditional houses, artisan shops, and charming cafés. You will have free time for lunch in the city centre.
After lunch, we will gather for a visit to a local winery, where we'll take a guided tour and enjoy a tasting of Vinho Verde.
We will return to the meeting point in Braga, arriving 6 hours after pickup.
