Enjoy a tour through the center of Guimaraes, which is known in Portugal as the ‘Berço da Nação’, the cradle of the nation, due to its importance in the development of Portuguese national identity. As such, it holds a special place in the people’s hearts. Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2001, in recognition of being an exceptionally well-preserved and authentic example of the evolution of a medieval settlement into a modern town in Europe. It boasts a rich history with a well-preserved 10th-century castle and the Palace of the Dukes of Braganza, the last royal family of Portugal and Brazil.
Continue to Braga, the capital of the Minho region, and discover the city’s spellbinding religious architecture. Admire the cathedral, which is Gothic at the base and baroque at the top, the three stunning sanctuaries – the mesmerizing stairway of Bom Jesus do Monte – and a sensational collection of churches. The tiled façade of the baroque Raio Palace is truly a sight to behold. Enjoy a traditional lunch in Braga to refuel for the afternoon.
