Hey travelers,
Have you ever heard about the city known by “the heart of Portugal”? Well, we really want to take you there! It’s called Guimarães! The city where Portugal was born!
Guimarães is the city where D. Afonso Henriques was born, the first Portuguese king. This small city is the place from where he started to conquer our beautiful country!! There is a historical center where we will give you the chance of visiting two very important monuments: Castelo de Guimarães (castle) and Paço dos Duques (palace).
This Historic Center of Guimarães is considered World Heritage by UNESCO since 2001! Which means, you have to visit this place during your Erasmus!
We will also give you the opportunity to travel by cable car, during which you will enjoy a great view through the city until the ocean! We are sure you don’t want to miss this!
