1-Day Braga and Guimaraes Tour from Porto

5.0 1 reviews
This one-day trip from Porto covered both Braga and Guimarães, and I was glad to see the UNESCO-listed historic center and castle in Guimarães. In Braga we visited the cathedral and the Bom Jesus sanctuary with its baroque staircase. Lots of walking, but the itinerary felt solid. Lunch wasn't included, so I grabbed something on my own in Guimarães.
