Overview

In this experience, we show you two very different cities, each with a significant contribution to Portuguese history. In one part, we take you to Braga, one of the most religious cities in Portugal. In the other part, we transport you to the medieval ages, where Portugal was born as a nation.

Braga has more than 2000 years of history. The city still preserves the prestige of country`s religious capital and it's also known by the splendid houses of 18th century, its gardens and its parks.
Guimarães, where the historical city center, today classified World Heritage, send us back to the time of the foundation of the Portuguese Nationality, as remind us of the sign on his walls. The Palace of the Dukes of Bragança, which dates from 15th century, is also a must see on this experience.
