What to do in Guimarães

Explore some suggestions of what to do during your holiday in Guimarães, Portugal.

Guimarães is a historical city with its culture, heritage and monuments. For this reason it offers a vast amount of interesting places to visit. Our main recommendation: take a walk around the city to discover its "top spots" (major sites/attractions).

For leisure activities, the city offers bars and pubs with an excellent atmosphere. It also offers places to shop such as “Meia Tigela" (where you can buy wines, typical gastronomy and handicrafts of the Minho region); or you can visit "Oficina" that offers plenty to choose from, since handmade linens to embroidery.

Also worth mentioning, two events which gives the city a special ambience, the "Festas da Cidade Gualterianas" held in the first week of August; and the "Encontros da Primavera" between the months of May and June, where you can listen to ancient music and classical music concerts.
