FreeTour of Guimaraes - The cradle of the Portugal

On this free guided tour of Guimarães, we will discover the main points of the historic center of this medieval city, classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and known as the cradle of Portugal. 

The starting point will be outside the walls, next to the emblematic Alfândega Tower, where you can read "Here Portugal was Born" - a phrase that summarizes the historical importance of this place. From there, we begin our walk through the old city, exploring its cobblestone streets, picturesque squares and the buildings that witnessed the birth of the country. Along the route, we pass through places like Santiago Square, Oliveira Square, the Church of Our Lady of Oliveira and Santa Maria Street, diving into the stories and legends that hide there. At a relaxed pace, we will discover all the corners, stopping to appreciate the old facades, sculptures, iron balconies and centuries-old tiles. The final part of the walk takes us on a small climb to the Palace of the Dukes of Bragança and Guimarães Castle, where we end the visit with one of the most impressive views of the city and the history of Portugal.
