Overview

Discover the cradle of our independency! Guimarães is a town in the northern region that preserves the medieval style and structure. In this visit, you will understand the history and roots of the portuguese!
Guimarães is deply related to the most important events in Portugal's foundation, and also our first capital back on the 12th century. Since then, the area has kept its structure, including the castle and fortified wall. Today, countless pieces that tell the history of Portugal are still very present and visible to everyone.

On this tour you will visit the most iconic monuments in the country, but also discover true treasures that even few residents know about!
By the afternoon we take a journey to the highest point in about 40km, from where you will have contact with the greenest area of the surroundings, with a fantastic view over the town of Guimarães.
