Discover two of northern Portugal's most historic cities on a private journey that brings together medieval heritage, local traditions and some of the region's most remarkable landmarks.
Your first destination is Guimarães, a city deeply connected to the foundation of Portugal. Walk through its historic centre, inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where medieval streets, traditional architecture and atmospheric squares reveal different chapters of the city's past. Explore the imposing Guimarães Castle, closely associated with the beginnings of the Portuguese kingdom, before discovering the Palace of the Dukes of Braganza and its place in the city's history.
A traditional Minho lunchintroduces another side of the region. Enjoy authentic local cuisine accompanied by regional wines, including Vinho Verde, in a relaxed setting before travelling onwards to Braga.
In Braga, discover a city with more than two thousand years of history and a remarkable religious legacy. Walk through its elegant historic centre, visit Braga Cathedral, the oldest cathedral in Portugal, and explore the beautiful Santa Bárbara Garden beside the historic Archbishop's Palace. There will also be some free time to experience the atmosphere of central Braga independently.
The final part of the day takes you to Bom Jesus do Monte, a UNESCO World Heritage Site overlooking Braga. Discover its monumental Baroque staircase, historic water-powered funicular and panoramic setting while learning about the history and significance of this celebrated sanctuary.
With private transportation, hotel pickup and drop-off, monument admissions, lunch and a dedicated local guide included, the tour brings Guimarães and Braga together in a comfortable, personal experience combining history, architecture, local culture and gastronomy.
