Itinerary

On this full-day personalized tour, you will be able to visit and take part in the story where brave Portuguese soldiers realized the dream of a nation called Portugal.

We'll begin with a visit to the birthplace of the Portuguese nation: the city of Guimaraes, the first capital of Portugal, chosen by our first king, Afonso Henriques. Known as the cradle of Portugal, UNESCO-listed Guimaraes has preserved a distinctly medieval atmosphere.

Our first stop will take place in the northern part of the city with a visit to the imposing 10th century castle and the majestic Dukes of Braganca Palace. Afterward the historical Santa Maria Road will lead us to the charming square in the heart of the old town, Largo da Oliveira.

After a relaxing lunch break in Guimaraes that will certainly allow you to enjoy the pleasures of the cuisine of the north of Portugal, we'll drive to Braga, the oldest religious capital of Portugal.

Known to the Romans as Bracara Augusta, for centuries Braga has been an archiepiscopal seat and pilgrimage site. Our first stop is Se, the 12th century cathedral built by Henri de Bourgogne and Dona Teresa. Then we will visit Bom Jesus Sanctuary, a hilltop pilgrimage site. The 581 steps that the pilgrims climb up to the top of Bom Jesus are one of the most glorious stairways in Portugal. After a visit to these landmarks of faith we will take you back to Porto.
