Its pristine medieval center is classified as a UNESCO World Heritage site. During our visit, we will explore the imposing 10th-century Guimarães Castle and the São Miguel Chapel. We will also tour the magnificent Palace of the Dukes of Bragança, a 15th-century estate featuring Burgundian architecture, before relaxing at the iconic Santiago and Oliveira Squares.
Widely known as the "City of Archbishops," Braga showcases centuries of rich religious heritage and stunning architecture. The spiritual heart of the city is the Braga Se, the oldest standing cathedral in Portugal, displaying a remarkable fusion of Romanesque and Gothic styles. Surrounding it, the old town features charming cobblestone streets, lively public squares, and the elegant Santa Bárbara Gardens, combining historical grandeur with the youthful energy of its prestigious university.
Awarded UNESCO World Heritage status, the Bom Jesus do Monte Sanctuary is one of Portugal's most spectacular landmarks. Perched on a scenic hilltop, it is famous for its monumental Baroque stairway of 577 steps, adorned with symbolic fountains and statues. We will ascend aboard its legendary hydraulic funicular.
