Private Guimarães Half-Day Tour From Porto
4 h
Private
Half Day
About this activity
Walk through the streets of the historic district in Guimarães and visit the main attractions and monuments of the city such as Palace of the Dukes, the Guimarães Castle, S. Miguel Chapel and the historic center of Guimarães.
Guimarães lies in the verdant Minho countryside to the north of Porto. Although essentially a medieval city, its origins go back to the 10th Century, when Countess Mumadona Dias founded a monastery that became the center of a new settlement.
To help its defence, she ordered a castle to be built on the nearby hill, thereby creating a second development. A narrow avenue called the Rua de Santa Maria linked these two villages and still exists today.
