Highlights
In this experience, we show you two very different cities, each with a significant contribution to Portuguese history. In one part, we take you to Braga, one of the most religious cities in Portugal. In the other part, we transport you to the medieval ages, where Portugal was born as a nation. Braga has more than 2000 years of history. The city still preserves the prestige of country`s religious capital and it's also known by the splendid houses of 18th century, its gardens and its parks. Guimarães, where the historical city center, today classified World Heritage, send us back to the time of the foundation of the Portuguese Nationality, as remind us of the sign on his walls. The Palace of the Dukes of Bragança, which dates from 15th century, is also a must see on this experience.

It is one of the most visited Marian shrines, second only to the Sanctuary of Fátima
The lush wood involving this sanctuary grants it beauty and mysticism. The stairways, flanked by the centuries old trees, take the walker to sucessive chapels, which represents passages from the Passion of Christ.
The city of Braga, named Bracara Augusta by the Romans, has more than 2000 years of history.
Jardim de Santa Bárbara stands as a serene and historical part of Braga, reflecting the city`s blend of ancient heritage and contemporary urban life.
More than a church, it's a complex Cathedral consisting of several manifestations of human genius.

About Porto
Porto tumbles down steep hills to the Douro River, a granite city of tiled churches, riverside cellars and port wine aged across the water.
The Ribeira district lines the riverbank with colourful houses, cafés and boats, part of a UNESCO-listed old centre beneath the iron arches of the Dom Luís I Bridge. Above it, the São Bento station hall is covered in blue-and-white azulejo tiles, the Clérigos Tower rises above the rooftops, and the Sé cathedral stands on its hill.
Top-ranked sights in Porto: Clérigos Church and Tower (Torre & Igreja dos Clérigos), Dom Luis Bridge (Ponte de Dom Luis I), Porto Cathedral (Sé Catedral do Porto).
