Chaves Day Trip

At the scheduled time, we'll pick you up from your hotel in Verín in a 4x4 or a jeep to cross the border with Portugal. The journey will take approximately 30 minutes.

Upon arrival, we will walk through Chaves to see its most notable sites, starting with the façade of the medieval castle of Chaves, which houses a military museum. This fortress dates back to pre-Roman times and was reconstructed during the Muslim occupation.

Next, we will visit the forts of São Francisco and São Neutel, built in the 17th century. We will then proceed to the Roman bridge over the Tâmega River, constructed under Trajan, the first Hispano-Roman emperor. A column with inscriptions commemorating this construction from the end of the 1st century can also be seen.

To conclude the tour, we'll visit the Roman thermal baths in Chaves, known for having some of the warmest medicinal waters in Europe. After a 3-hour 30-minute tour, we will return to Verín and drop you off at your hotel.
