Guimarães the cradle of Portugal

Visit the city where the first king of Portugal was born.

Come to Guimarães by train and discover the city of King Afonso Henriques, the Conqueror.
It was the European Capital of Culture in 2012, so you can start your visit at the Castle, with the statue of the King and the Palace of the Dukes of Bragança at the top of the city, go down to the Alberto Sampaio Museum and stroll through the streets and see monuments, which breathe history! 
You'll feel like a true conqueror!Have lunch in Praça Santiago, next to the historic centre, which has been declared a World Heritage Site, and devour a delicious pie or dessert. Don't eat it all alone. Offer your parents, grandparents or friends some too! They'll love it!
Take advantage of our partnerships and ensure you take the cable car up to the highest point in the city, the Monte da Pena park. Enjoy an adventure that begins when you board a train!
