Guimarães Tour - Half Day Private Tour

Experience the charm and unique personality of Guimarães on a half-day tour. This birthplace of Portugal harmoniously combines the past with the present and has been widely recognized for this ability.

In 2012 Guimarães was named a European Capital of Culture, and in 2013 it was chosen European City of Sport.

The tour begins at the medieval castle, where a mother and her son waged a battle over the creation of the Portuguese nation. Behind the Castle you’ll find a small church, where it is believed that the first king of Portugal was baptized.

Continue on to the city center, which has been listed by UNESCO as a Cultural Heritage of Humanity Site. The streets and monuments of Guimarães have been so well preserved you’ll feel that you’ve stepped into another era.
