Discover the charm of one of the most remarkable cities in the northern territory. Guimarães takes pride in its status as the birthplace of the nation, as its independence from the Kingdom of León was gained here in the remote 12th century, after becoming the capital of the County of Portucalense. Since that time, the city’s defensive structures, fort, town, and workers’ and peasants’ districts have been preserved until the 19th century. Even today, it’s possible to appreciate the city’s medieval origin through the quaint squares and narrow lanes, as well as admire the magnificent landmarks and rich cultural heritage that saturate every part of the city.
During this trip, we’ll journey through the entirety of the area encompassed by the walls, tackling the points of interest and fascinations, and conclude with an in-depth exploration of Guimarães’s two most iconic monuments - the 10th century Castle and the 15th century Palace of the Dukes of Bragança.
