Alto Minho Trip
In the morning, we'll pick you up from your hotel in Braga to set off on our trip to Viana do Castelo and Ponte de Lima.
After an hour's bus journey past the mountains and along the coast of northern Portugal, we'll arrive at Viana do Castelo.
Here we'll enjoy a guided tour around the most emblematic places of the historic centre. Afterwards, we'll climb the Santa Luzia mountain, where the Santa Luzia Sanctuary awaits us at an altitude of over 200 metres. We'll head inside this beautiful neo-Byzantine temple, which has become a postcard image of Viana do Castelo for its magnificent architecture and location with incomparable views of the sea.
Then we'll hop back on the minibus and set course for our next stop; Ponte de Lima, where we'll make a stop to eat in a local restaurant. This city is famous not only for being the oldest in the country, but also for its gastronomy.
After lunch, we'll visit the historic centre of Ponte de Lima accompanied by our guide who'll tell us fascinating information about the town and its inhabitants.
Before returning to Braga, we'll travel to Arcos de Valdevez, where we'll enjoy a delicious tasting of the area's most famous product: green wine.
At the end of the trip, we'll make our way back to Braga.
