Fall in love with one of the most impressive cities in the northern region. Guimarães is proudly the cradle of nationality, since in the distant twelfth century, here we gained independence from the kingdom of León, having been established as the capital of the Portucalense County. Since then, the city has maintained its defensive walls, castle, burgh and workers/peasants quarters until the 19th century. Today, we can still marvel at its medieval genesis, with the small squares and narrow streets, in addition to admiring the great monuments and cultural legacy present in every corner of the city. On this visit we will explore the entire area inside and outside the walls, touching on points of interest and curiosities. We also climb by car to the highest point in the surroundings to have the greatest sightseeing spot and discover some hidden gems. If you opt for the sunset/night visit, you will be dazzled with the vibe, lightning and views of the city!

Guimarães, Portugal. An ancient curse has been triggered: five descendants of the Moorish kings have unwittingly arrived in the city, and according to medieval legend, the rivers will rise and swallow everything until the city sinks into the sea. You are the only one who can stop it. This self-guided city game uses the Questo app to lead you through 11 chapters across 2.2 km of Guimarães' UNESCO World Heritage center. Start anytime near the castle, play at your own pace, and race against a rising tide through medieval legends. No guide or fixed schedule: just you and a sword to find. Your route takes in the heart of medieval Guimarães: the nearly thousand-year-old castle, the Romanesque Igreja de São Miguel, the Palace of the Dukes of Bragança, the Praça de São Tiago on the Camino de Santiago, the ancient olive tree at Largo da Oliveira, and the medieval city walls. Suitable for all ages and groups. Comfortable walking shoes recommended. The game is available every day at any hour.
