📖

Full description

This guided day trip leaves Porto for the Minho region and pairs two of northern Portugal's most historic cities. In Braga, the visit centres on the historic core and the monumental staircase and hilltop views at Bom Jesus do Monte.

Guimarães follows, with its medieval streets and UNESCO-listed centre, and commentary on the early history of Portugal. Travel is by air-conditioned transport, and there is free time for lunch and independent wandering.

Reviewers praise the driving, explanations and relaxed pace, though some find the motorway stretches long and the castle stop short. Paid monument entrances depend on the option chosen.
