What to expect

This private guided tour of Braga and Guimarães offers a unique experience to explore the history, culture, and architecture of northern Portugal. These two cities are often referred to as the “cradle of the nation” due to their significant role in the formation of Portugal.

Braga, the “Rome of Portugal,” is a city rich in history, art, and architecture. It is home to an abundance of stunning churches, including the impressive Braga Cathedral, which dates back to the 12th century, and the Bom Jesus do Monte, UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2019, a pilgrimage site that features an ornate Baroque staircase. You can explore the historic center, wander through the beautiful gardens and parks, and sample local cuisine and wine.

Guimarães, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is one of the most important historical cities in Portugal. Known as the “birthplace of Portugal,” it was the first capital of the country and has a rich architectural and cultural heritage. The city's main attraction is the medieval Guimarães Castle, which dates back to the 10th century, and the Palace of the Dukes of Braganza, a magnificent palace built in the 15th century. Visitors can also explore the charming old town, with its narrow streets, historic houses, and traditional shops. What are you waiting for? Book your tour!
