Rejseplan
Ved ankomsten til Guimarães begynder vi vores tur i den øvre del af byen, hvor Guimarães Slot ligger. Vores guide vil fortælle dig om Portugals tidlige historie, når du passerer Portugals ældste middelalderborg og begynder nedstigningen til byens centrum.
Denne kirke går tilbage til det 13. århundrede og er i øjeblikket klassificeret som et nationalt monument. Det er en bygning opført i romansk stil, som blev genopført i begyndelsen af det 20. århundrede efter sit oprindelige udseende. Der er en legende knyttet til denne kirke, ifølge hvilken den første konge af Portugal, D. Afonso Henriques, blev døbt her.
Dette palads daterer sig tilbage til begyndelsen af det 15. århundrede, og dets opførelse blev bestilt af D. Afonso (søn af kong D. João I) på tidspunktet for hans ægteskab med D. Constança de Noronha. I årenes løb har det tjent flere formål og forårsaget slid. I begyndelsen af det 20. århundrede begyndte restaureringen af paladset. Det er klassificeret som et nationalt monument og fungerer i øjeblikket som et museum, der viser værker af gobeliner, møbler, kinesisk porcelæn og malerier.
Langs nedstigningen til byens boligområde vil vi passere gennem Rua de Santa Maria, en af de første gader i Guimarães, som fungerede som hovedforbindelsen mellem klostret D. Mumadona Dias, boligområdet og Slot.
Dette er et socialt torv for indbyggerne i Guimarães, hvor du kan finde restauranter, barer og terrasser, omgivet af byens typiske arkitektur. Ifølge legenden skyldes pladsens navn apostlen Jakob, der på en pilgrimsrejse efterlod et billede af Jomfru Maria her. Der blev bygget en kirke i det 12. århundrede, som blev revet ned i det 19. århundrede.
Largo da Oliveira er en af de mest emblematiske og historiske pladser i Guimarães, Portugal. Dens navn kommer fra et gammelt oliventræ, der symboliserer fred og tradition. Dette sted har været skueplads for betydelige begivenheder gennem århundreder, herunder middelalderlige domstole og afgørende øjeblikke i dannelsen af Portugal som nation.
Ud over kirken er Largo da Oliveira kendt for Padrão do Salado, et monument, der fejrer D. Afonso IV's sejr over maurerne i slaget ved Salado i 1340.
Fra Largo da Oliveira kan du se kirken Nossa Senhora da Oliveira - Colegiada de Guimarães, hvis oprindelse går tilbage til et kloster grundlagt i første halvdel af det 10. århundrede af grevinde Mumadona Dias. Den nuværende kirke blev bygget i 1387 efter ordre fra kong D. João I, efter modeller af gotisk arkitektur.
Braga-katedralen er et af de mest emblematiske og historiske monumenter i Portugal. Beliggende i byen Braga er denne katolske katedral et vidnesbyrd om landets kulturelle og religiøse rigdom. Dens konstruktion går tilbage til slutningen af det 11. århundrede, efter at være blevet hellig og dedikeret til Jomfru Maria af biskop D. Pedro i 10891. Braga-katedralen betragtes som den første portugisiske katedral, bygget flere årtier før selve nationens grundlæggelse.
Bom Jesus do Monte Sanctuary er en juvel af den religiøse arkitektur og landskabspleje, beliggende i Braga. Med over 600 års historie er dette sted for kristen pilgrimsfærd et bemærkelsesværdigt eksempel på den europæiske Sacri Monti, skabt efter koncilet i Trent i det 16. århundrede. Helligdommens Via Crucis, som snor sig op ad bjergsiden, består af kapeller, springvand og skulpturer, der repræsenterer Kristi lidenskab, kulminerende i den neoklassiske kirke, der blev bygget mellem 1784 og 1811. The Staircase of the Five Senses, et barokværk, er et barokværk. af de mest emblematiske elementer i sættet, der symboliserer de menneskelige sanser gennem springvand og statuer. Bom Jesus do Monte blev anerkendt som et verdensarvssted af UNESCO i 2019, hvilket skiller sig ud for dets harmoniske integration med det naturlige landskab og dets kulturelle og åndelige betydning. Helligdommen byder på panoramaudsigt over Braga og er et vidnesbyrd om den katolske kirkes religiøse tradition og indflydelse i regionen.

A fun half day trip to see some beautiful close by sites and still be back in time to nap and get dinner. Good for groups or solo travelers!
Dear Gabrielle, Thank you so much for your lovely review! We're delighted to hear you enjoyed your visit to Braga and Guimarães and that the tour fitted perfectly into your day. We truly appreciate your kind words! Kind regards, Joana Alves Oporto Road Trips
The stop and sites were beautiful. Rick was a wonderful guide and explained the history of each stop. Small group was perfect. I don’t think it would be as enjoyable tour if it was a large group.
Dear Katherine, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear you enjoyed the beautiful sights and that Ricardo's knowledge helped make your experience even more enjoyable. It's also wonderful to know you appreciated the small-group format. We truly appreciate your kind words. Kind regards, Joana Alves Oporto Road Trips
Our guide was Diana; although we had booked the tour in English, since we were all Spanish speakers, she made the effort to do it in Spanish. Everything she told us was very interesting, the history, the legends/traditions 😜 Very kind, she drove the van herself, and by the way, she drives very well, very carefully; she would drop us off at one point to take a tour and pick us up at another point, so we didn't have to walk back. The tour is 100% recommended and Diana is a fantastic guide. Thank you Diana
Dear Traveler, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear you enjoyed your day exploring Braga and Guimarães with Diana. It's especially rewarding to know that her effort to conduct the tour in Spanish made the experience even more enjoyable and that you appreciated both her knowledge and thoughtful organisation throughout the day. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back for another adventure in Portugal someday! Kind regards, Joana Alves Oporto Road Trips
I sign up for English Braga and Guimares Medieval Tour. We got mix with a Portuguese couple not by choice which became a big problem. Diana our tour guide because they speak same Portuguese language our tour became a disaster. She spends most time with them, elaborate more on Portuguese than English.Diana became and serve as their private tour guide than the group tour guide. I was very disappointed with this tour. This tour should have been worth it but became not our moneys worth. It's a waste of our time
Dear Teresita, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are genuinely sorry to hear that the experience did not meet your expectations. Our tours are shared experiences, and guests booking in different languages may join the same departure. When this happens, we ensure that the tour is conducted in all the languages selected by our guests. In your case, the tour was provided bilingually in both English and Portuguese, so that everyone could fully enjoy the experience they had booked. Regarding your comments about Diana, we would like to clarify that she is one of our most experienced and dedicated guides. If she had conversations with the Portuguese-speaking guests in Portuguese, it was because they addressed her in their native language, just as she would have responded in English had you spoken to her directly. She would never intentionally prioritise one group of guests over another, and she always strives to make every participant feel included, regardless of the language they speak. We are truly sorry that this gave you a different impression, as that was certainly not our intention. Your feedback is appreciated, and we will share it with our team to ensure we continue providing the best possible experience for all our guests. Kind regards, Joana Alves Oporto Road Trips

Very extensive tour to Braga and Guimarães! We had a very friendly guide, Ricardo Aliveira, who told us and showed us all sorts of things about the cities. There was also plenty of free time. Ricardo picked us up at the agreed meeting points every time.

Ivo was a very personable and knowledgeable tour guide. Our tour occurred when the area was experiencing an extreme heat wave and we were traveling with an elderly family member. Ivo was able to adapt our tour to ensure my Mom got an excellent experience despite not being able to walk for long periods of time in the extreme heat. The tour itself was fantastic, with many sites being firsts for us and Ivo explained the history of the sites while also providing insight into the local culture. Great experience. We’re very happy that we chose this tour.
Dear Wayne, Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We're delighted to hear you and your family had such a positive experience on your tour with Ivo. It's especially rewarding to know he was able to adapt the day to ensure everyone, including your mother, could comfortably enjoy the experience despite the extreme heat. Kind regards, Joana Alves Oporto Road Trips
Diana is very knowledgeable and gave us a lot of information on local history and culture. She always made sure to answer all our questions. We also enjoyed the free time in Braga and Guimaraes which are very beautiful. I recommend this tour to anyone interested in learning more about Portugal and its many traditions in a more personalized setting.
Dear Luca, Thank you for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear you enjoyed discovering Braga and Guimarães with us. We're so pleased Diana's knowledge and dedication helped you gain a deeper appreciation of Portugal's history and traditions. Thank you for your recommendation, and we hope to welcome you back for another tour in the future! Kind regards, Joana Alves Oporto Road Trips
