Braga and Guimarães Your Way: Minibus, Small Group or Private, Lunch In
Both cities in a single organised day out of Porto, and the useful part is that the same itinerary comes in three formats: minibus, small group, or private. The pickup arrangements follow whichever you book. The day covers the Sanctuary of Bom Jesus do Monte, the historic centres of both cities on foot with a local guide, the interior of Braga Cathedral, and a traditional Portuguese lunch. In Guimarães the walk takes in the medieval quarter around the castle and the UNESCO listed historic centre, with the origins of Portugal told where they happened. The castle itself is seen from the outside.
