Let`s explore Guimarães, known as the cradle of the nation! And Braga, an ancient Roman city!

We start by visiting the Guimarães Castle, symbol of the beginning of the Portuguese nation, followed by a visit to the Chapel of S. Miguel and Palace of the Dukes of Braganza, where you`ll get to know the detailed historical background.

Afterwards, walk down the oldest street of the city to the UNESCO medieval city center where you will be dazzled by centuries-old beauty. Another landmark is the mythical inscription on the city wall saying “Here was born Portugal”.

After lunch, it is time to discover Braga. Visit one of the most beautiful and imposing sanctuaries in the country with amazing views over Braga: the Good Jesus Sanctuary with it’s impressively beautiful staircase.

Time to explore the city center: marvel at the Cathedral of Braga, the oldest monument in Portugal! Wander around the modern center, see the gardens of Santa Bárbara, the Gate of the city and the main squares and streets.

Norberto as our tour guide to Braga and Guimaraes was perfect for our group of 8 people. He showed us the 2 cities’ highlights, shared with us his knowledge of the 2 beautiful cities with very rich histories.

Norberto provided not only an informative tour but an entertaining one. He has an enormous volume of knowledge about the area and delivers it in a fun way. He was kind and with a good sense of humor. I highly recommend him and will definitely use his guidance again when we return to Portugal.
