Explore the Historic Center
The historic center of Guimarães, classified as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, is a true journey back in time. Walking through its cobbled streets, lined with buildings of Gothic and Renaissance architecture, is like walking through the pages of a history book. The iconic Praça de Santiago and Largo da Oliveira are meeting points where the past and the present blend harmoniously. And of course, the imposing Guimarães Castle, the symbol of the birth of the Portuguese nation, is a must-visit for anyone who wants to immerse themselves in Portugal’s cultural roots.

Stunning Nature in the Mountains
In addition to the charm of the historic center, Guimarães is also a starting point for unforgettable adventures in the surrounding mountains. The Serra da Penha, which rises majestically over the city, is perfect for those looking for tranquility in the middle of nature, with stunning trails and viewpoints from where you can contemplate panoramic views over the entire region. Here, our tourist units offer quiet refuges, where you can relax in total harmony with nature, without giving up comfort and luxury.
