In our Guimarães Essential Free Tour we will tour the entire historic center of the city, from the most notable monuments such as the Oliveira Church and the Padrón del Salado, to the most picturesque corners such as the Viela da Arrouchela, all with the help of expert guides in local history.
Our tour begins in front of the Alfándega Tower, on which a phrase that defines Guimarães is written: Here Portugal was born. Throughout the tour we will unravel the turbulent medieval history of this city to clarify how much truth there is in that statement.
After visiting the Largo do Toural, we will enter the old walled space of Guimarães and walk through its most iconic streets, such as Rua da Rainha Maria II, until we reach the Oliveira and Santiago squares, meeting ancient palaces, churches and buildings along the way. gardens.
Next, we will ascend to the most monumental space in the city, where we will find the Palace of the Dukes of Bragaça, the Guimarães Castle and the sculpture of the first king of Portugal, Alfonso I, before which we will end our visit.
The guide will be in front of the letters "Here Nasceu Portugal", with a light green umbrella.
Free tours do not have a set price, instead, each person gives the guru at the end of the tour the amount that he or she considers appropriate (these usually range from €10 to $50 depending on satisfaction with the tour).
