Guimaraes (Guimarães) is a beautiful smaller city not far from Porto and Braga. This town is known as the "birthplace of Portugal," and is an Unesco World Heritage city!

Guimaraes, Portugal has two major attractions and many others. Standing atop the hill are the castle and Duke's Palace, overlooking all of Guimaraes. The castle's ruins can be entered by purchasing a combo ticket at the Palace (but you can enter either attraction first). The Castle of Guimaraes doesn't take long to go through and is entirely outdoors, so plan your entrance according to the weather.

The Palace of the Dukes of Braganza (PAÇO DOS DUQUES DE BRAGANÇA) was built by the first Duke of Braganza, an illegitimate son of the king, and was constructed in the early 1400s. The interior of the palace has been carefully restored and is uniquely beautiful. It's decorated with period pieces and also some significant tapestries by well known artist Nuno Gonçalves.

The Convento de Santo António dos Capuchos offers a really cool surprise! If you're willing to climb some extremely steep and narrow stairs, you wind up at the top of a patio where the bell tower sits (note there are no railings to keep small children from falling). The view alone is worth the modest entry fee!

We also had the most *amazing* vegetarian lunch, at this place: Cor de Tangerina: [ Ссылка ]
