Braga – Bom Jesus Sanctuary and Braga Cathedral

Arrive in the historic city of Braga, an ancient hub known for its deep religious roots and striking monuments. First, visit the Sanctuary of Bom Jesus do Monte, famed for its grand baroque staircase rising through picturesque woodland. Take in serene views as you climb toward the church atop the hill and experience exclusive access to the sanctuary’s private rooms—areas often missed by visitors.

Continue your exploration with a guided visit to Braga Cathedral, the oldest in Portugal.

This sit-down lunch offers a relaxing moment to savour flavours unique to northern Portugal, giving you a genuine taste of the region’s culinary heritage.

Explore Medieval Guimarães

After lunch, continue to the city of Guimarães, often referred to as the birthplace of Portugal. Wander through narrow medieval streets lined with beautifully preserved buildings, monuments and lively squares. Step inside the imposing Guimarães Castle, where the country’s first king was born, and absorb the evocative atmosphere as your guide shares stories of battles, royalty and legends.

Your visit also includes entrance to the landmark Palace of the Dukes of Braganza. Explore its historic rooms decorated with period furnishings and learn about the powerful family who once lived here. The palace’s collection and architecture highlight the wide-reaching influence of Portuguese nobility.
