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 for a 30-minute journey to Chaves.

Once there, we'll walk through the town to visit its notable landmarks. We'll start by admiring the façade of the medieval castle of Chaves, which houses a military museum. This fortress dates from pre-Roman times, with construction reinforced during the Muslim occupation.

Next, we will visit the areas outside 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, commissioned by Trajan, the first Hispano-Roman emperor, and view the column with inscriptions from the end of the 1st century commemorating its construction.

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 will return to Verín and take you back to your hotel.
