Guimaraes Portugal

Guimarães is a city in Minho, Portugal and is one of the most historical cities in Portugal, said to be where "Portugal was born". It is the first city of Portugal, and has a beautiful Castle, and a Palace to visit, from the beginnings of the country. The Castle has been classified as one of the New Portuguese Seven Wonders. The first King (D. Afonso Henriques aka D. Afonso, I of Portugal). Situated about 50 km from Porto, Guimarães is located near a mountain, Penha, with wonderful views of the entire city. In Guimarães, there is a bus that allows you to travel through the city centre. But the city centre is not very large so you will likely prefer to walk and enjoy the harmony of this medieval city. If you usually buy a long-term ticket in other cities, to travel, here you may not need it. to travel by bus, To go to Penha Mountain the best solution is to take the Elevators - Teleférico da Penha - and climb up. If you prefer to walk through the mountain it's very safe, and there are nice roads to go up, but it will take about 30 minutes. Renting a car can be a very good solution, because, in a small city there are not many traffic jams, and if you want to stay in a place "far" from the centre, it can be a wonderful mode of transport. It's not very expensive to rent a car. But, if you want to feel the city, you can make longer trips, because the city centre has a lot of small medieval streets, that you can only enjoy by walking. You can see: Guimarães Castle, Dukes of Braganza Palace (Paço dos Duques de Bragança) Penha Mountain, Largo da Oliveira (Olive Square) Casa de Sezim (Sezim Manor), located in Nespereira (about 5 km away from the city centre),
