About this experience

Duration: 8 Hours

Braga, built more than 2000 years ago, “Bracara Augusta” was rightly founded by Augustus, sitting on one of the main Roman roads of the Iberian Peninsula. Guimarães is one of the most important historic cities in the country, with its historic centre a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2001. Its streets and monuments breathe history and enchant all who visit.

Braga, often referred to as the “Rome of Portugal”, is a testament to centuries of religious and architectural splendour. The Cathedral, a majestic symbol of faith, offers a glimpse of the city’s rich heritage.

Guimarães, the birthplace of the founding of Portugal, exudes a medieval charm. Guimarães Castle echoes the stories of the nation’s birth, while the UNESCO-listed historic centre captivates with its stone streets and historic treasures.

Both cities offer a feast for the senses, from the aroma of traditional Portuguese cuisine to the sights of well-preserved architecture. Braga and Guimarães promise an unforgettable journey through the timeless beauty of Portugal, inviting you to explore its history, savour the local flavours and create lasting memories.
