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 into Portugal, reaching Chaves in 30 minutes.

Once there, we'll walk through the town to visit its notable sites, starting with the medieval castle of Chaves, which features a preserved historic keep. This fortress, which includes a military museum, dates back to pre-Roman times and was fortified during the Muslim occupation.

Next, we will visit the area outside the forts of São Francisco and São Neutel, built in the 17th century. From there, we will proceed to the Roman bridge over the Tâmega River, constructed under the order of Trajan, the first Hispano-Roman emperor, and view the commemorative column from the end of the 1st century.

To conclude our 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'll return to Verín and drop you off at your hotel.
