This will be the time to familiarise ourselves with the evening's itinerary and clarify any questions.

    2. Marvel at the Illuminated Cathedral:
      We'll start our walk by admiring Lamego Cathedral from a new perspective, with its Gothic and Baroque architecture highlighted by the nighttime lighting.

    3. Stroll Through Historic Streets and Tales of Yesteryear:
      We'll stroll through the narrow, picturesque streets of the historic centre, where every corner reveals a piece of history.

      We will begin our return journey, descending the steps of the sanctuary and heading back to Praça da Sé.
