Overview

  • Explore two of the most iconic and historically rich cities in northern Portugal in one unforgettable day. Begin your journey in Guimarães, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known as the birthplace of the Portuguese nation. Discover its medieval castle, once home to the Counts of Portugal, and admire the grandeur of the Palace of the Dukes of Bragança. Stroll through the charming and well-preserved historical center, where every corner tells a story.

    Continue to Braga, one of the oldest cities in Portugal, renowned for its deep religious roots and over 2,000 years of history. Visit Portugal’s oldest cathedral and the breathtaking Sanctuary of Bom Jesus do Monte, where you’ll have the chance to ride the only functioning water-powered elevator in the world, a truly unique experience.

    This tour is a perfect blend of history, culture, and architectural beauty — a must for anyone wanting to dive deep into Portugal’s northern heritage.
