Activity Details

We'll meet at the indicated time under the Arco da Porta Nova and, from this point in Braga, we'll make our way south.

After a journey of approximately 30 minutes, we'll reach Guimarães. Firstly, we'll see the Castle of Guimarães, a 10th-century fort considered to be one of the Seven Wonders of Portugal. Here, we'll be able to climb the building and admire panoramic views of the city while we share the story of the country’s foundation.

The next stop will be at the Paço dos Duques de Bragança, a 15th-century palace that reflects the grandeur of the Portuguese nobility. Its interior is adorned with tapestries, period furniture, and medieval weapons.

Our visit will continue through the historic centre of Guimarães, where we'll stroll through narrow streets, passing by traditional façades, artisan shops, squares, and cafés. After this, you'll have free time for lunch in the city centre.

After lunch, we'll meet again to enjoy a tasting of Vinho Verde. At the end of the tasting, we'll return to the meeting point in Braga, arriving 6 hours after pickup.
