Guided Tour of Vila do Conde
Tour Details
At the designated time, we'll start this guided tour of Vila do Conde in front of the Aqueduto de Santa Clara, one of the most spectacular aqueducts in northern Portugal.
After admiring this infrastructure from the 18th century, we'll head to the monument next to it to visit the inside of the Convent of Santa Clara. Did you know its origins date to the 14th century? Its Capela dos Fundadores is a gem that will surely surprise you. Next, we'll head to the Convento de São Francisco, where you'll also explore its different rooms.
We'll continue our tour at the river port on the Ave River. Here, we'll visit the inside of the Nau Quinhentista, a life-size replica of a Portuguese boat from the 16th century, the golden period of the Age of Discovery. We'll also see the customs facilities at the port.
Then, we'll go to the Capela de Nossa Senhora de Socorro and head to the town's coast. Here, on a breakwater that extends into the Atlantic Ocean, we'll visit the Capela de Nossa Senhora da Guia.
Finally, we'll conclude this 3-hour tour at the Praia de Vila do Conde, where we'll enjoy a tasting of traditional cakes and desserts with a drink. What a way to end the day!
