Da sapere su questa attività
Guimarães has its historic center classified as World Heritage by UNESCO, and is one of the best preserved medieval centers in the country. We start this tour in the biggest symbol of the city, the Castle of Guimarães, the birthplace of D. Afonso Henriques, the first king of Portugal, and the Chapel of St. Michael, where he was baptized. Close to these landmarks you will find the Palace of the Dukes of Bragança, one of the five most visited monuments in the country.
We continue to the Church of Our Lady of Consolation and Holy Steps and then to the meeting point for several generations of Guimarães, Oliveira Square, where we find the ancient Town Hall, the Church of Nossa Senhora da Oliveira and beautiful porches homes. We head to Santa Maria Street, one of the first to be opened in Guimarães, and contemplate the Convent of Santa Clara, which currently houses the services of the City Council.
In the Santiago Square we can take a break for lunch and breathe the young atmosphere of the city.
On the arrival to Braga, your driver takes you to the República Square, where the visit begins in the Arcades, the Congregados Church, the House of Riddles and the so famous cafe "A Brasileira".
In the medieval and historic Braga visit the Torre de Menagem, the Largo do Paço with a fountain dating from 1723 and the amazing Cathedral, that century after century "faced" earthquakes and several architectural projects, culminating in what is the oldest cathedral of Portugal.
Then we head to Monte do Bom Jesus, not without first passing to Porta Nova and the Church and Convent of Pópulo. Located six kilometers from the center, the Sanctuary of Bom Jesus de Braga is the best known religious sanctuary of Portugal.
With the sun setting behind, we say goodbye to Braga and return to Porto and to your hotel.

Our driver Pedro was very polite and always Went out of the way to accommodate our needs. Tour was good, we got plenty of time at each location. I would highly recommend this private tour.
Wonderful experience. Informative. Sad that we could not visit Bom Jesus due to rain.
Very good day-long tour to some beautiful churches most notably Braga Cathedral, the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Sameiro, and Bom Jesus and breathtaking view points. Our guide was great to us--thanks Daniel!
