THINGS TO DO

  • Visit Bom Jesus Sanctuary in Braga

  • Visit the oldest Cathedral in the country

  • Have a walk to the city center



OVERVIEW AND EXPECTATIONS

Start with Guimarães, which is considered the birthplace of Portugal because Afonso Henriques, who went on to be the first king of Portugal, was born here. The city still has a harmonious, well-preserved heritage that is evident in the graceful iron balconies, mansions, arches connecting the narrow streets, paving slabs smoothed by time, towers and cloisters.


Continue towards Braga, a lively city, one of the oldest in the country, and is teeming with young people who study at its universities. Braga’s Cathedral is also the oldest in the country and was built in the 12th century.
