Guimarães Day Trips from Braga

10 tours · €30–€120 · ★ 4.6

Guimarães is where Portugal started — literally. Afonso Henriques was born here in 1109 and proclaimed the country's first king in 1143. The town is 25 km east of Braga, reachable by train in 25 minutes, and its medieval core has been UNESCO-listed since 2001.

A Guimarães day trip from Braga covers the Paço dos Duques with its 15th-century Bragança tapestries, the castle keep where Afonso's story begins, and the old town streets around Largo da Oliveira. The square's padroeira shrine dates to 1342 — a gothic canopy over an open-air cross. Skip the funicular to Penha hill and walk instead if you have time; the panoramic views over the Minho valley are better earned. Most tours pair Guimarães with Braga for a full day, which makes sense — one city Romanesque and baroque, the other medieval.
