We start the journey towards the acclaimed cradle of Portugal - Guimarães. A visit to the Guimarães Castle (whose foundation dates back to the 10th century) and the Dukes of Bragança Palace (whose foundation dates back to the 15th century) is a must! From here we will walk through the old streets of the city, full of stories and legends, to discover the Historic Centre of Guimarães, a unique vestige of a type of conception of the city, due to the morphology of its medieval urban fabric and a type of building erected using traditional construction techniques. Setting off from Largo da Oliveira, you will have free time to explore the houses and the modus vivendis of Guimarães.
Inspired by the origin of our history, the places and customs characteristic of this city, we
return to Oporto.
