Experience North of Portugal

An incredible getaway to the North of Portugal.

Braga is the third largest city in Portugal, an elegant mix of old narrow streets closed to vehicle traffic, adorned with squares and a splendid variety of baroque churches. The constant ringing of bells is a reminder of ancient Braga that is devoted to the spiritual world. Braga's exclusive old center is packed with lively cafes and boutiques, accompanied by some excellent low-cost restaurants and bars catering to students from the Universidade do Minho. In fact, it is a young city that in 2012 was proclaimed the European Capital of Youth. The imposing Bom Jesus do Monte (Good Jesus of the Mount) sanctuary is located on the outskirts of the city of Braga, Portugal. It is at the top of a hill in Tenoes, about 381 meters above sea level, it is accessible by funicular, car or on foot, through a magnificent 116-meter staircase. There has been a building on the site for centuries, dating back to at least the year 1373, when a chapel was erected in dedication to the Holy Cross.

Guimaraes was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2001 and was the capital of European culture in 2012 and European City of Sports in 2013. The Portuguese consider Guimaraes to be the cradle of Portugal as we know it today. In fact, at one of the entrances to its walls there is a quote that makes it very clear "Portugal was Born Here."

We are sure that if we ask you to think of a symbol of Portugal, its colorful rooster quickly comes to mind. Well, Barcelos has been the city that gave rise to its legend.

Viana do Castelo is a city with deep historical roots, and a good proof of this is the heritage it preserves both in the Monte de Santa Luzia and in its historic center. This city offers interesting monuments and museums. Let yourself be surprised by the Sanctuary of Santa Luzia.

A unique experience that you will always remember!
