Great location in the very center of the old town with all of the interesting attractions in walking distance. Friendly and responsive staff. Warm and cozy room cleaned every day. All the facilities working perfectly

Don't let the entrance misguide you. Amazing roof loft room. Spacious, with character.

A great hotel along the Caminho. They stored our bikes inside and we had a comfortable room that was in a convenient location. The staff was friendly and accommodating. They allowed us an early check-in, which was extremely kind considering the rain we had traveled through. The continental breakfast was a good start the next day.

Basic rooms Don't pay for breakfast ..its not great .ours was included as a upgrade .. Central and right on the camimo path

Nice place on the Camino, lobby can use a little work to hide washer and dryer. Room is spacious and bathroom is good. But sink is useless with a faucet handle so big it makes the sink extremely difficult to use

The location is great and that's it.the room is not sound proof, the curtain only closes half way and does not block the light . The mattres and pillow are so uncomfortable that I never fully fell asleep in the nights I stay here. It might be OK if you are doing Camino and so tired so you won't mind, but definitely don't stay here for pleasure. Also pricy for what it is.

Fantastic location. We stayed 2 nights when walking the Camino in early May. Daniel looked after us for breakfast and evening meals. Wonderful traditional food on both evenings which included slow cooked beef which was amazing. He recommended the wine for my fish meal which was delicious. He was very caring and thoughtful. We really enjoyed our stay here and would recommend to anyone to stay here. Thanks again Daniel for looking after us and thanks to the lady that checked us in and I think carried our bags upstairs

These cool houses are incredibly beautiful and cute. I think they are very good build from amazing materials. I think they use it for fish and hanging up garments right now. There are plenty of shops and restaurants around the beautiful hórreos. Parking is difficult. The best place is at the beginning of the port.

Gorgeous place Having been very disappointed by the lack of historical interest in Baixa area this was a lovely find . Small and a tad touristy bit beautiful with many gorgeous old buildings as well as the horreos and some lovely looking restaurants on the sea front which were actually open in September! A miracle in this part of Galicia from our travels so far!

Pretty little town just a few minutes away from Pontevedra. It’s worth staying overnight at one of the hotels or BnBs here, so that you can enjoy the sunset and dinner time tranquility at its fullest.

Beautiful place and very interesting.

What a cute and lovely village!!!! Very nice and friendly people and some nice local shops too!!! Worth the distance I've traveled!!!

Pretty village in a beautiful position on the estuary. Extremely busy on a Sunday in August. We parked near the park to the east of town (where campavans park) and walked 10 minutes back along a pretty back road.

Beautiful little town, we came early in the day in June and there weren't many people, but you get the sense that it does get quite busy. The whole town feels like a postcard from the past, complete with peregrinos.

Loved the place lots of uphill walking but worth the view of the harbour and surrounding area.

Excellent place to visit, a must I would say with clear skies. Awesome views with a mix of ancient history

Magnificent views overlooking Vigo in a place full of historical significance.

Histotic setting and great views over the city and water

Best spot, to see the sunset in Vigo! You can see all of the ocean, the Cies Islands, the bridge! I totally recommend it to everyone. Don't go without a cerveza! For picknick with your friends, it's the best as well!! Also, you can run and do sports around it, the best to do in the sunrise or sunset;)

At the top of the mountain, right in the middle of the fortress that crowns it, some walls from the 17th century that today are the best vantage point of Vigo and the estuary to the Atlantic Ocean. Within these walls are the castle of O Castro and its gardens, as well as sculptures such as the monument to Vigo by Camilo Nogueira or the tribute to the medieval poet Martín Codax. Walking down the paths bordering the fortifications towards the historic quarter, you will come to a new vantage point where the Rande Galleons Monument is located.. It consists of anchors and various cannons that were found from three of the dozens of ships sunk in the Vigo estuary during the Battle of the Rande in 1702, when the Anglo-Dutch fleet and a Spanish fleet escorted by a French collided. Very interesting place, a gem in history.

Great views of Vigo got lucky with parki g as this is limited so would advise an early visit. Nice cafe on site as well for refreshments afterwards 👍

Large beach, soft sand, free parking lots with many free spaces. Nearby along the beach there are free swimming pools for children under 12 years old and picnic zone. A good place to relax.

A beautiful, beautiful beach! We were there on July 4th and the water was ice cold! but it's an amazing spot.

It is certainly the most frequented beach in Vigo, yet it is also quite beautiful. During the summer, one can find beach bars and pools for children. It is a pleasant location to unwind and witness stunning sunsets in the autumn.

Better go to Cangas or somewhere else. After seeing tens of Galician beaches this one wasn't impressive because the water is dirty and isn't for swimming in my opinion. But for sunbathing the beach is enough and there are also small parks around. Toilets and showers are available too

Excellent place to relax, especially to watch the sunset.

A very nice beach. No seaweed

Very nice beach

Amazing beaches. I went in early May and they weren't crowded at all. The sole reason to visit Vigo.

A beautiful wild natural park..with paved walking routes and a campsite. It is spark so You can either walk, swim or take a picnic. Be careful of the seagulls, one of them swooped down and stole my lunch at the restaurant at the port.

Wow, what a beautiful place. Please note, you should leave 1h for parking in Vigo and getting your tickets. Ships are all on time so don’t be late. The island itself is incredible, you easily can spend 6-7 h especially if the weather is warm. The white sand beaches are amazing, the same as very blue ocean. I would recommend to spend one night in the camping, a pity we didn’t do that. Come here, you won’t regret!

Breath taking scenery. The large yellow bolders and rock added to the unique beauty of the mountains. The sand is soft like clay. You can walk and not have to worry about stepping on a hard rock. The water is clear and stunningly beautiful. It is quite cold though.

A place with wonderful nature. Worth a visit!

Just speechless! Amazing place on Earth, with white sandy beaches. I have never seen sooo white sand before like this island has. It’s like a 40 mins trip with Catamaran from mainland, not sure how much is it if you book independently, I went by cruise and booked the shore experience through the cruise line. There is a bar on the island, you can buy cold beverages and snacks too. Toilets are also provided. No rubbish bins on the islands, YOU MUST take all rubbish back with you, really important. You are allowed to swim in the ocean but not in the lake. Overall an amazing breathtaking place, highly recommended to visit.

Most beautiful beach in the world! Camping, hiking, kayaking and star gazing! The ultimate place to be one with nature. 2 restaurants and a bar. You can bring your own food and really do camping or eat at the restaurants. We did a little bit of both, mostly the alcohol part😛 coming from the USA we couldn't bring camping gear. They have everything you need but have still preserved the islands. They have kept it from becoming commercialized. There is a limit to how many people can visit a day.

We arrived in the morning and it wasn’t possible to go in as the “tour” didn’t start until 10! Just put our head into the entrance for a snap. That is all the time it was worth even if you wanted to spend for € for audio guide of garden and the tower. We were on bikes and the effort to navigate the steep cobblestone streets wasn’t worth the effort. There are better ones out there that don’t charge.

Not as large as I expected, but a nice cloister with a garden under renovation. A good view on the river behind the cloister and a lot of gilded wood in the he samctuary. One chapel was converted to a small museum of interest mostly if you're interested in liturgical garments and alter finery.

Went early to start the my walk so it was closed (no stamp for me-womp). But great architecture and there's an albergues/cafe close by if a cafecito is needed!

Very beautiful and underrated place! It could become a huge attraction in Galicia, missed opportunity. Everything is beautiful, the exterior, interior, the garden and the views from the tower. There's an entrance fee but totally worth it!

A very good place to visit. It's very beautiful and I liked the architecture so much.

Beautiful Cathedral, €4 per entrence for adults, children under 12 can go in for free. You get a audio headphone with info about the place. Plenty of old sacred relics to see. And of course the panoramic view over the river which is absolutely breathtaking.

Beautiful cathedral, worth the visit. You can scan a qr code and listen to a guided tour on your own phone in several languages which was a great feature, so i recommend you bring earphones. Very interesting to learn about its history while walking around.

An amazing viewpoint. The way to get here, the parking place, the trees around here, every single thing is just wow. Please make sure you are driving in clear weather or else you will miss the view.

Otherworldly, there aren’t applicable words. Must go. But only if you drive well and carefully.

Beautiful viewpoint. We hiked until there and was magical. A bit busy for sunset but as soon as the sun set all the people leave and you can enjoy a peaceful and lovely end of the day with the clouds turning red or orange. Recommended

Crazy views below the mountains! Really recommending for visiting!

This is one of my favourite view points in the National Park. There are 4 viewing platforms in this spot. If you are not a hiker or have mobility limitations you can drive straight up to this spot. One of the platforms is ramped and fully accessible.

Accessible with the car till very top. Beautiful views and great place to have picknic.

It’s a bit of a drive twisty and curvy up the mountain but totally worth it. This is in beautiful Geres on the north of Portugal

Simply stunning Roman bridge , walking over it and imagining how many people and years it took to build and the innovation of the era simply blows my mind and it still stands very proud . The arches of the bridge are illuminated with a long string of lights either side every night and is lovely to see . This is “a have to experience” piece of history for all to enjoy.

Beautiful bridge and views. The towns around it are quaint and nice.

Medieval roman bridge which gives town its name Ponte da Lima. Beautiful sight in evening. We have visited two times and it is a lovely place to spend some time. Walk across the bridge. Area around has lots of restaurants and cafe.

Beautful spot. Take a detour to visit Ponte de Lima for this bridge alone but take the time to have a wonder around...

Very nice and romantic place for a stroll with your spouse. Mid July quiet but I hear it gets very much crowded in August with the flee market installed along the shore of the river.

This is true gem on camino portuguese. Ponte de Lima and its bridge give an authentic feeling of medieval Europe. One of the prettiest mid size towns in Portugal. Must see

Beautiful bridge to walk on. Great views from either side. An ode to historical conservation in Portugal.

It's an amazing construction and is beautifully set into manicured gardens just outside Braga. It is lovely to walk around and is a site that visitors to Fatima include in their itenary. Tough going in a wheelchair, but you can get into the main church. If you do visit and you have a car, go the extra few km up the hill to Samiero.

A truly stunning location with lots of history. The walk can take a few hours if you fancy a lil stroll through all the features. I suggest you start from the top of the hill as it will be lighter on the feet. Got an Uber to the top and the walked to the bottom.

Bom Jesus do Monte – A Must-See in Portugal Bom Jesus do Monte is one of those places that leaves a lasting impression. The moment you arrive, you’re struck by the majestic baroque stairway, beautifully designed with fountains, statues, and intricate details at every level. Climbing it feels like a journey both physical and spiritual, with breathtaking views as a reward at the top. The sanctuary itself is stunning, set against a backdrop of lush greenery, and the panoramic views over Braga are unforgettable. Whether you walk up the grand staircase or take the funicular, the experience is equally special. It’s not just a religious site but also a place of serenity, history, and beauty—perfect for reflection, photography, or simply soaking in the atmosphere. For me, visiting Bom Jesus do Monte was a magical experience and one I would highly recommend to anyone exploring Portugal.

The church at the top is beautiful. The gardens are expansive and fun to explore. The views over Braga and the staircase with sculptures are spectacular.

Lovely sight to visit even in the rain and mist. A little overrated but might have been better, if I didn't have an injury affecting mobility. Funicular was great.

A must see sight in Braga. There are 573 stairs but it didn't seem difficult to get to the top as you stop at each level to take in the sights. Totally worth it to experience the sanctuary at the top. A beautiful church, gardens and amazing views. It is very tranquil.

Is a UNESCO World Heritage Site renowned for its monumental Baroque stairway, which features chapels and fountains, and its beautiful neoclassical church. It's a significant Christian pilgrimage site and a popular tourist attraction, offering stunning views and a unique experience combining spirituality with architectural and natural beauty. Its monumental staircase, known as the Sacred Way, ascends the mountain with allegorical fountains and chapels depicting the Five Senses and Three Virtues. The site is also notable for its integration of natural elements like granite, water, and vegetation with man-made structures, as well as the historic, water-balanced funicular that transports visitors up and down the mountain.

The Sanctuary of the Sacred Heart of Jesus on Mount of Santa Luzia is a monumental masterpiece of Portuguese granite architecture. Its imposing exterior is matched by a breathtaking interior, featuring stunning murals, vibrant stained glass, and remarkable acoustics. The panoramic views over Viana do Castelo, the river, and the Atlantic are unforgettable.

The Sanctuary of the Sacred Heart of Jesus (Mount of Santa Luzia) in Viana do Castelo offers breathtaking views! If you can, climb to the top of the church — the path is narrow, but the panoramic views of the city and sea are absolutely worth it. Tickets are available from a vending machine on-site. The church itself is stunning, both inside and out. You can reach it by taxi or Uber, on foot (a steep hike), or by cable car. I went up by taxi and down by cable car, which was a lovely experience. Overall, this is a must-visit spot in Viana do Castelo — one of the most beautiful viewpoints in Portugal!

Large church with sprawling views of the entire area, funicular takes you very close, you can walk back into town via stairs ( start is right beside funicular exit) the is a cafe/ bar behind the church with good views, plenty of shady seating at rear and good views of the Atlantic. Fee entry except if you want to go to the top lookout of the church 2€

It stands majestically on the top of the hill. Massive in shape but light and airy in the interior. Gorgeous views of the surrounding areas from the top! Plenty of parking available at the top.

Such a beautiful place to take a rest. They have a smal park to take a rest and a kind Cafe. Take a rest there, enjoy the view and the moment at a beautiful place. It is not to busy there and many places with shadow. You can stay your car directly next to the church. The entrance is for free.

Well worth a visit , more for the sights from this vantage point of tge city of Viana de castelo. The Church itself is recent compared to other monuments in Viana. Use the little funicular car to get there.

Awesome place, one of the top attractions of Portugal. Nice cafetaria/restaurant at the side, very good food for lunch or early dinner (they close at 18:00 hrs).

Imposing building that can be seen from all around. The original structure is largely still fully intact, however they're is no interior to look at, side from the room where the virtual reality experience is held. The wall walk is essentially all there is, however yes still very impressive, with stunning views all around, including it the palace nearby.

Guimarães Castle is the impressive ruin of an ancient fortress, believed to have been one of the first residences of Portugal’s early kings. This stronghold was originally built to defend the surrounding lands and played a key role in the country’s formation. Today, visitors can explore the remaining towers and walls while enjoying a fascinating VR experience that recreates what the castle looked like centuries ago. It’s a great way to imagine its former glory and understand its importance in Portuguese history. Definitely worth a visit — especially if you’re interested in medieval architecture or the origins of Portugal itself.

Nice Castle, short walk around. Lots of history here. 360 virtual tour was cool. If your going to visit, either buy your tickets online or visit the ducal palace first and buy Combo tickets there first.

The castle of Guimarães is a must-see and truly impressive, full of history and atmosphere. However, the online ticketing system is a real nightmare: the process is unnecessarily complicated and PayPal is not even available. It’s a shame that visitors have to go through such a complex journey just to get in. On top of that, the central tower was closed without any prior notice, which was disappointing. Overall, the monument itself is absolutely worth it, but the management of the visitor experience could and should be much better.

Parked far away so walked a lot, but discovered great cafe and walked through old town after castle and chapel. Entry is free for Portuguese and 5euros each for castle and palace for tourists. Visited Sep 2025.

A very weird place. Just four walls and that's it. The only interesting thing is the tower and it's closed. In one loophole you can buy water for €2, in another you can watch a 3D cartoon for €6. What's the entrance fee for? The creepiest attraction in Portugal.

It is a scam for the tourist. You pay 5.31euro to see 4 walls in 5 minutes. You cannot even enter the central tower. Don't go to this place. There is plenty of castels much more interesting like in Obidos, Silves, Sintra or Montemor-o-Velho. I was really deceived and I could have spend 5 euro to get 4 bananas, 1 bottle of water, 2 packs of granola and 3 packs of lemonade. Just stay outside is really enough and enjoy the photo I posted. Regards

This 15th century church is marvelous and a beauty of the architecture. We were not able to visit the church from inside as it was closed, but it had a quite a stance in the middle of the market. There is a ancient monument just outside it with a cross within it. Overall a magnificent structure and well preserved.

A stunning Gothic church rich with history and atmosphere. Beautiful architecture and peaceful surroundings in the old town. A must-visit landmark when exploring Guimarães!

It is located on Largo de Oliveria. It is definitely an amazing church. Not just it is a part of the culture but architecture wise it is also amazing. Inside of the church is another story. You will be impressed for sure. You can spend lots of time inside by embracing serenity and peace. Recommended strongly!

I can’t go inside because it’s Mass time. I stand and watch from the outside, took some photos, feel great to be there. I ask them about coin souvenir for selling, but they don’t have it, so sad in minute.

Great & beautifully designed ☺️

I love this church. Such a beautiful arches and even the old fire alarm box that used to be connected to the bells.

The Igreja de Nossa Senhora da Oliveira (Church of Our Lady of the Olive Tree) in Guimarães is a deeply unique and historically resonant landmark, central to the city's identity as the birthplace of Portugal. What sets it apart is its Gothic architecture and its profound connection to King John I and the Battle of Aljubarrota, as he ordered its reconstruction in the late 14th century as a vow of thanks for the Portuguese victory. This makes it a significant symbol of Portuguese independence. Adding to its distinctiveness is the "Legend of the Olive Tree", which gives the church its name. According to tradition, an ancient olive tree in front of the church miraculously revived after being cut down, leading to the placement of the Padrão do Salado (a Gothic shrine commemorating the Battle of Salado) right outside its doors. The church's interior features notable 18th-century altarpieces and a revered image of Our Lady of Oliveira. This blend of historical significance, architectural evolution, and local legend makes Igreja de Nossa Senhora da Oliveira a truly singular site.

As with all the awesome, ancient churches in the various cities of the country, they are extraordinary sight, very well preserved and clean. The little cafe provides a quaint, relaxing break to soak in the cool atmosphere. Love the calm nature too.

Very beautiful city with a bit strange cookies you can buy there.. a river and bridge is very nice. I think it’s a great place to visit and enough to spend here few hours and then go to next one.

Beautiful view of the water. Very picturesque. Bakeries nearby. Part of the pilgrimage trail.

Amarante city center and Ponte de São Gonçalo Bridge are a picturesque, quiet and charming city/bridge with views straight out of a storybook. We loved strolling down the quaint main street as a stop over for lunch, coffee and pasteries on our way to Porto from the Douro Valley. There were a variety of coffee shops and bakeries, some with scenic views. Don't forget to look for the "rocket ships" 🚀😆 Be mindful of cars on the bridge, use the side balconies for photo/selfie opportunities, to rest and people watch. For a perfect view of Ponte de São Gonçalo Bridge, take a moment to walk down to the shoreline. There is a small parking area near the church adjacent to the bridge. Amarante is a quaint city with a walkable city center and a worthwhile stop over if you're in the vicinity.

Beautiful town. Don't miss the penis pastries

We stopped here on a tour. It is very pretty! We took pictures and we also got to check out the local market near by. You can also find a public bathroom at this market in case you’re looking for one.

A very classical city. Leisurely, romantic and comfortable! It's worth spending a day browsing slowly. A cup of coffee and simple snacks while enjoying the beautiful river and pedestrians!

It’s a huge market that has everything from meat, fish, wine, and souvenirs to artist market. It’s directly connected to the train station so you can access it quite easily. It definitely has an element of tourist trap with certain dishes and goods, but I also saw plenty of locals simply grocery shopping. I personally loved the seafood and the ham. They also have insanely cheap glasses of wine so be careful if you’re going to be drinking! But it’s a must visit place for me in Porto

Mercado do Bolhão is one of the highlights of Porto and a must-visit if you want to experience the city’s flavours in one place. The market is spotless, beautifully restored, and full of life. From the moment you step inside, you are surrounded by stalls offering fresh fish, fragrant olives, local olive oils, fresh fruit, fruit juices, meats, and brilliantly packed sardines that make perfect gifts. We purchased some olives and a bottle of white wine and enjoyed them right there in the market. Walking around with a glass of crisp wine while tasting the olives and chatting with vendors felt both authentic and relaxing. The fishmongers and food stalls are a delight to explore, and you will also find stores selling handicrafts, so it really has a little bit of everything. What stood out most to me was the balance between tradition and modern comfort. You get the energy of a traditional Portuguese market, but in a clean, organised, and welcoming space. Whether you come to taste, shop, or just soak in the atmosphere, Mercado do Bolhão is worth your time.

Situated very close to Bolhao metro station, this place is on the itinerary of every tourist. It is the ideal place to pick up souvenirs of porto, wine, olive oil, candied fruits and cute tiny boxes of sardines. There are food stalls selling freshly made snacks, vegetable vendors selling out of season fruits and vegetables, plant nursery stalls, and interesting looking chocolates packed in attractive boxes. A nice leisurely walk in the hall browsing through the goodies is enough to pass a couple of hours. There are restaurants on the top floor that stay open till late.

Good market, lots of food. Bought some souvenirs for the family here. For tourists(just like me) visiting, please be watchful of the closing time. Google says closing time is 8pm but when we got there at 7pm and everyone was already closed up. The restaurants on the top floor really does close around midnight so thats good. Had that pasta made in a cheese wheel. Best eaten warm.

A lovely market in Porto with plenty of food options and some amazing flower bouquets available. It’s also a great spot for souvenir shopping. Highly recommend stopping by!

It Is not just a market place, it is a social meeting point. You can buy there just about anything, as well as taste salty and sweet stuff, have a drink and chat with others,while listening to piano performances. Better than in Lisbon.

This is an amazing market set over two levels of a square building with an open entrée. There are two galleries that run around the edges which have shops selling jewelry, ceramics, handbags, and other examples of Portuguese cross friendship. The bottom level is dedicated to foods, beverages, flowers, and other produce, including meats, fish, fruits, and vegetables. This is a fantastic building and worthy of a visit.

Livraria Lello is without a doubt a stunning and historic place. The architecture is impressive and it feels like stepping into a storybook. That said, the experience felt more like visiting a tourist attraction than a library or bookstore. When we went, it was extremely crowded, which made it hard to truly enjoy the space. It was difficult to move around, take in the details, or even browse the books comfortably. The staff seemed a bit tired or impatient, possibly because they deal with large crowds all day. Not rude, but not exactly welcoming either. I paid 10 euros just to enter, which can be used as a credit toward a book. But most of the books were priced around 13 or 14 euros, so you still end up paying extra. Yes, you get a discount, but personally I found the books to be overpriced for what they were. If you're really into architecture or literary history, it might still be worth it. But if you don’t go early, expect it to be packed. Personally, I’m not sure I’d recommend it to someone unless they go first thing in the morning and know what to expect.

There’s no doubt — Livraria Lello is one of the most beautiful bookstores in the world. The moment you step inside, it’s hard not to gasp: the intricate woodwork, the stained glass ceiling, the sweeping red staircase that seems to float in the air — it’s pure architectural poetry. You can absolutely see why people link it to Harry Potter and call it a must-see in Porto. But — and there’s a big “but” — it’s also one of the busiest, most crowded spots in the city. The line outside starts early and grows fast. Unfortunately, the queuing system isn’t well managed — people often skip ahead, and staff struggle to keep order, which can be frustrating, especially if you’ve been waiting patiently. Once inside, the space is stunning but packed wall-to-wall with visitors, making it nearly impossible to take in the details or snap a photo without a crowd in the background. It feels more like a museum moment than a peaceful bookstore visit. That said, the magic is still real. The craftsmanship of the staircase, the warmth of the lighting, and the sheer history of the place make it worth seeing at least once. The attached bookshop sells lovely editions (including Harry Potter books with special covers) and the entrance fee is redeemable toward a purchase — a nice touch. If you go, arrive early, book ahead, and bring patience. It’s undeniably beautiful, even if the experience is far from calm.

Very much a tourist trap. Timed ticket entry with long queues outside and busy inside once you get in. Paid €10 ticket which you can use against a purchase of a book. Very striking interior which was supposed to of inspired JK Rowling when writing Harry Potter. Would maybe best getting the first entry time ticket of the day to fully enjoy the interior.

A bit smaller than I thought, but the place is astonishing. It feels surreal to think about the history that this place has once your inside. The quantities of books in different languages it’s impressive, and the people working in there is very kind and helpful. We went in late on a Monday, so it was not too crowded, but I’ve heard it gets pretty busy and can get out of control with the amount of people because the place is small. My recommendation is plan to go on a less busy time (use Google maps as a guide) and buy your ticket in advance, then enjoy the experience. If you buy a book, the entry ticket gets deducted from the price which is great!

The wait is long, the inside is crowded but beautiful. A small bucket list item for us and it was worth the wait. Make sure to buy tickets online and if you want to skip the wait and plan to buy a book buy a gold ticket! Books are available in multiple languages so no need to worry about not being able to read!

I was SO disappointed. :( You have to pay for a ticket to get in, and that money can be applied to a book if you want to purchase one. The problem is that the selection of books is so sad. Maybe if they stocked books that people would actually want to read then they would have more sales. I’m not usually this negative about stuff, but this was the worst tourist trap I’ve ever experienced. Obviously the staircase was beautiful, but this small and crowded store was a ripoff.

The Lello Bookstore is housed in an outstandingly beautiful building in Porto. It feels as if a magical realism novel has come to life and transformed into architecture. The staircase and ceiling are absolutely incredible — true works of art. As a bookstore, however, the selection is quite limited, with only about 5 to 10 book titles available in different languages. Still, it’s definitely worth the visit for the atmosphere alone. Make sure to buy your ticket in advance — it’s a must!

The Igreja dos Clérigos is a beautiful church located in the heart of Porto. It features a stunning collection of sacred art in the Baroque style, and every detail — from the magnificent organ to the richly decorated main altar — is truly impressive. If you’re in good shape, don’t miss the climb up the Torre dos Clérigos; the panoramic view of the city from the top is absolutely worth it. I highly recommend visiting this iconic landmark!

We visited the Clérigos Church in Porto and chose the full experience, including the light and sound show — and it was absolutely worth it. The church itself is stunning, with beautiful architecture and a peaceful atmosphere that makes you pause and look around. The light and sound show added a special touch, bringing the history and details of the church to life in a memorable way. It made the visit feel even more meaningful and immersive. Overall, a truly beautiful place and definitely worth visiting if you’re in Porto.

Very beautiful church! People mostly come here for the tower or taking a picture in front of the main gate. Yet, the church inside is very beautiful, so I would strongly recommend to visit the church as well! It is easy to walk from the city center.

The Igreja dos Clérigos (Church of the Clergymen) is particularly striking for its 75.6-meter bell tower, visible from afar in central Porto. This Baroque church of the Brotherhood of the Clergymen was built between 1732 and 1750 to a design by the Italian architect Nicolau Nasoni. Construction of the Torre de Clérigos did not begin until 1754 and, like the monumental double staircase at the front, was completed in 1763. The Clérigos was one of the first churches in Portugal to adopt the oval floor plan common in the Baroque style. Since 2015, the church and tower have been open to visitors in the evenings.

Amazing Church. Our Lady of Sorrows, St John the Evangelist, St Andrew Avellino, Ste Anne Virgin Mary and Child Jesus all representations are wonderful. Our visit was coupled with melancolic music coming from outside... so touching moment highly recommended. Visiting the church is free. Small queue at the entrance.

The Clérigos Church and Tower is a landmark in Porto. I recommend booking in advance as it can get very busy. After the Luis The I Bridge, the Clérigos church and tower are the most visited objectives in Porto. Narrow steps lead to the top of the tower. Once there, you can enjoy a 360-degree view of Porto.

Visiting the tower is a great experience. You walk through the church facilities and rooms which display history and info about the building. Then walk up the narrow stairs in the tower. The view at the top probably offers the best views of Porto.

Very nice placento walk and colorful in summer. A lot of restaurants

Really nice street, with amazing views of the river, the Luis I bridge, restaurants, and the boats. If you're in Porto, you must walk down here!

Absolutely stunning views across the river on both sides of the banks. There is plenty of life and great hustle bustle with several restaurants and live music people singing and plying guitar. There’s wide choice of restaurants and cafes on the bank and the river trips staring points as well.

Excellent walking on riverside, very touristy area and prices are higher. You pay for views of river, bridge and monastery on other side normally you go downstairs from Porto cathedral on steep stairs and refresh here. Huge choices for coffee, drink or eating out

Good vibes loads of restaurants and bars with the odd decent busker pity the sun wasn’t out

Truly a stunning place!! One of my favorite spots in Porto. You can easily walk down from the center and enjoy the river view. There are many coffee shops, bars, and restaurants nearby.

A lively promenade where you can watch people strolling from a terrace while enjoying food and drinks. A promenade perfect for a leisurely stroll and enjoying the view of the Douro River, the rabelos (the traditional boats used to transport barrels of port wine), and the port houses on the other side. These days, it's a promenade claimed primarily by tourists.

This bridge is spectular!! We walked on the lower portion of the bridge to cross over and there were many people. There were teenagers jumping off of the bridge into the water! It was fun and a little wild. Many people and a fair amount of traffic. We walked on the upper portion of the bridge to get back over and it was extremely picturesque. Even with the sun beaming down, the wind was refreshing and it was lovely. Great spot to take photos. The train runs along here but did not seem to affect our experience. I would 100% recommend walking on the upper portion, but the lower portion was fun too! (Also there is a winery when you cross over that we would have missed if we didn’t walk over on the bottom.)

There are many beautiful pictures of the bridge, if you're interested in the architectural structure. My personal pics are not taken from the bridge but from a lovely bar on the river with the bridge to the left of me. Well... I deserved the drink having walked through Porto to get there!

Amazing view regardless of weather. But just be ready to walk in the crowd. Always busy with tourists and street vendors. Also be careful when train passes by. If you want to get a good picture while on the bridge, look for asian guys with big dslr camera taking pictures of their gf or wife. They’re super skilled and professional photographers😆

Ingenious, elegant, photogenic. These are just a few descriptions of Porto's most famous landmark: the (Dom) Luis I Bridge. In 1879, the Portuguese government launched a competition for the construction of a bridge to replace the 1842 Ponte Pênsil. Due to the economic boom, this bridge, officially called the Ponte D. Maria II, could no longer handle the increased traffic. Of the nine proposals submitted, the design by Belgian engineer Théophile Seyrig, one of two by the Société Anonyme de Construction et des Ateliers de Willebroeck, was selected. (A common misconception about the Dom Luis I Bridge is that it was designed by Gustave Eiffel. This is understandable, as Théophile Seyrig, the bridge's designer, co-founded Eiffel et Cie with Gustave Eiffel in 1868.) Construction began on November 21, 1881, and King Luís I of Portugal opened the bridge named after him on October 31, 1886. Exactly two years later, the Lower Bridge was also opened. The Upper Bridge is 395 meters long and 45 meters high, while the Lower Bridge is 172 meters long and 10 meters high. Until January 1, 1944, a toll was charged for using the bridge. While the Lower Bridge has been used by (motorized) traffic since its opening, the Upper Bridge has been closed to motorized traffic since 2003, and since 2005, only light rail trains of the Porto Metro have run across it (and, of course, the many, many pedestrians who come to admire the bridge). No visitor or resident of Porto can or would want to miss this magnificent feat of civil engineering!

Lovely bridge in particular for first time visitors to Porto as you get nice views of the water and areas on both side of the river. Make sure to walk over the bridge both on lower level and upper level as well as both day and night. You get nice and different views in each scenario.

An iconic structure offering panoramic views of Porto. Well-maintained and easily accessible by metro. Perfect for sightseeing and photography. Definitely one of the city’s highlights.

Magnificent bridge for people to walk across the river, and also connects the public transport. Provides a great view from the bridge. But check out the Nice riverside walk too.

📍 Location: The ferry offers a scenic crossing between Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia, providing a unique perspective of the city's waterfront. Power Traveller +1 Mike's Travel Guide +1 ⛵ Experience: A pleasant and brief journey that allows passengers to appreciate the beauty of the Douro River and the iconic bridges that connect the two cities. 🏛️ Historical Insight: While the ride is enjoyable, it lacks informative commentary about the rich history of Porto and its landmarks, which could enhance the overall experience. 📸 Views: The ferry provides excellent photo opportunities of the city's architecture and riverside scenes, making it a worthwhile activity for visitors. 💡 Suggestion: Incorporating more interactive elements or guided information about the city's history and the significance of the bridges would greatly enrich the experience. 🌟 Overall: A delightful way to see Porto from the river, though adding historical context would make it even more memorable.

It's just one of but cheap and well explained in 5 languages with a speaker system, you don't need an app or headset. Just plenty of suncream.

€3 to cross the river rather than face the hills and bridges of Porto in 30c+ heat? Sign me up! Added bonus, you'll get a great viewpoint of the bridge during the crossing.

Cool ride along the river for 20euro per person :) I could enjoy the beauty of Porto sunset!

Just beautiful, this was part of a wine tour, if you're there definitely take the boat ride.

You will see 6 Porto bridges. A little bit expensive price for this trip - 18 EUR.

It is awe inspiring leaves you wanting to return

This place is amazing, absolutely spectacular. There is a small restaurant next to the car park. You can find everything you need there. Excellent food and very helpful staff. The trail is steep, long and challenging. Especially if you're doing it in 30°C. Tho well worth it. The bridge has to be booked separately. Otherwise, the trail up to the bridge is free if you want to carry on, it costs 4euros per person. Well worth it tho.

Unique experience, but an absolute must do in the region of Arouca. Totally worth to spend some time in nature. Well signed trail, parking and information on how to buy tickets. The wooden path was 2€ per person, crossing the bridge an extra 12€, but totally worth it.

This trail was beautiful but absolutely terrifying, if you do not like heights, I do not recommend. The pathway is mostly stairs, hanging off the cliff, high above the river. Not an easy stroll along the river.

A must visit place! Get yourself comfy shoes, a bottle of/for water (they have tap water on the top), a swimsuit to swim in the river after the hike, something for picknik and enjoy stunning Portuguese nature. Loved this place soo much!

Nice view from any part of the trail. Bridge is very impressive 1 km uphill from the Trailhead. Easy way to start from opposite side, but no parking on that side. You can go 4 km and back 4 km. Or take taxi back to the Trailhead. Or pickup with second car if you have.

Really nice plan. Better go before 8 or 9 am. You gave to buy you entrance 2€ on line before . Bring comfortable shoes, tennis shoes are enough. Amazing views. Very well maintained wooden paths. Bring bath suit. You can take a taxi or a 4x4 jeep for the same price 20€ to go back to the starting point, so you don’t have to go back 9 km again .

It’s a really nice trail. If you book the suspension bridge you have to be at the bridge at that time because it’s a guided tour. We thought it was a time slot so we couldn’t go on there anymore. There are some nice spots to go for a swim in the river. You might want to bring water shoes because there are some sharp stones. There is a restroom about halfway. You should go there in the morning when there is still some shade (we got there at around 8:30 am).

Cute little festival with lots to do. A bit hot through the day but much quieter and really gets busy at night. Worth dressing up for if you can and the fact that every cup is authentic and all the signage is really special

Viagem Medieval in Santa Maria da Feira is a fantastic experience for those who love history and medieval culture. The festival brings the past to life with impressive reenactments, costumes, food, and music. It’s a great opportunity to immerse yourself in the medieval atmosphere. However, the event tends to be very crowded, making it difficult to fully enjoy some of the activities. The long lines and large number of people can be overwhelming at times. It’s also important to note that this event takes place in the summer, and the heat can make it uncomfortable for some visitors. I think limiting the attendance or spreading the event across more days could make it more comfortable. Still, the event is beautiful and offers a lot of fun, especially for families.

Viagem Medieval à Terra de Santa Maria Type: event Price: 5-6 EUR (+some paid activities) Duration: 1.5 week Time: 8+ hours per day Parking: available, small WC: available Path for disabled: available, but not everywhere Restaurants: available Supermarket: available Tickets in advance: needed just for special (limited) events The largest medieval festival in Europe. It includes: theatre, live music, dances, museums, traditional food, zoo, fire show, sword fighting, etc. -Kindly take into consideration that shows are in Portuguese. >You need to visit the festival at least twice to see most of the program. Tip: download a map/program, and plan your day. It will simplify your visit and save your time. After 7 pm the queues are extremely long, so I recommend buying some food/drinks in advance. Public transport: Redexpressos bus (in/out) +20 min walk, train (Espinho - Vila da Feira /in) + 10 min walk. Last buses (Redexpressos): 22:50/23:50 to Lisbon, buy tickets in advance.

This is by far the best medieval fest I have ever visited. It’s a must-see if you plan to take a trip to Portugal. Although the fest is at its best in the evening, I suggest coming in the afternoon to find parking and avoid long wait times.

Santa Maria da Feira is a historic city in Portugal known for its rich cultural heritage and festivals. One of the lesser-known but fascinating festivals in Santa Maria da Feira is the "Viagem Medieval em Terra de Santa Maria" or the "Medieval Journey in the Land of Santa Maria de Feira . The Viagem Medieval is a medieval-themed event that takes place annually in Santa Maria da Feira during the summer. It's one of the largest historical reenactment festivals in Europe. The city transforms into a medieval town, recreating the atmosphere, costumes, and lifestyle of the Middle Ages. Visitors to the festival are transported back in time to the medieval period, with streets and squares filled with knights, troubadours, artisans, and performers, all dressed in authentic medieval clothing. The festival aims to provide an immersive experience that gives participants a glimpse into the past. Throughout the city, elaborate scenarios are set up to recreate different aspects of medieval life, including markets, workshops, battles, and court scenes.

Traditional medieval dishes and beverages are served at various stalls and eateries. It's a chance for visitors to indulge in authentic flavors from the past. The festival is not just about entertainment; it also has educational value. Schools often organize trips to the festival, giving students the opportunity to learn about history in an engaging and interactive way. The Viagem Medieval em Terra de Santa Maria is an enchanting and lesser-known festival that offers a unique blend of history, entertainment, and cultural immersion. It allows attendees to step into the shoes of medieval inhabitants and experience life as it was centuries ago

One of the best and biggest medieval faire’s in Portugal at arguably the most beautiful castle in the country.

Amazing experience and hight recommended for everyone! Difficult to park, but easy to get acess to the place due the fact that they have lots of entrances. It is hight recommended that you bring cash, some shops do not accept card payment and dont offer other options and ATM has no cash most of the time or long cubes.

The exhibition is not made just by cars. They have other things like toys, paintings, and sculptures. For me, It's not really worth the travel if you're just going there, so pick a nice restaurant and look for other things you might wanna see. The road from Porto to Caramulo is very pretty.

Fantastic! Loved it! From Rolls Royce Phantoms to Gull wing Mercedes and other gems like Harley Davidson and Indian Motorcycles and WWII exhibition... The best!

Nice museum with interesting stuff to see. Top floor is a gallery. The main floor in the main building has an interesting display of ww2 cars, wagons and artillery, stamps, flags etc... In this floor you can also see old fashion toys displayed in a different room. The second building has old fashion cars from 1880 to 1940. The ticket will allow to you to visit another building displaying more ww2 vehicles. In here you also have a virtual reality experience.

Set high in the lush Serra do Caramulo hills overlooking a sweeping valley, the Museu do Caramulo is a delightful blend of art and automotive heritage—from vibrant works by Picasso, Dalí, and Vieira da Silva to around 100 beautifully preserved classic cars and motorbikes

Very impressive museum with some masterpieces like Dali, Rodin, Picasso also pieces from the 16th century till the 20th century, besides a lots of cars and ww2 cars and products

Lovely place where history of the automotive industry can be seen and felt. There is also a art museum as well as an experience center where one can see the detailed work involved in car renovation. Something I really enjoyed was seeing the small matchbox and other collections.

The museum is very interesting, with the main section thoughtfully divided into different art historical periods. The part devoted to World War II is located in different areas, but it’s worth visiting both. The car section is also impressive, featuring several truly rare models. The ticket price is reasonable

Excellent shopping mall in Aveiro. High quality and excellent price. All rage if clothes are avaliable. Mall Building is higher in quality 👌 Next to the boating area.

Very modern retail centre filled with all the big names and more , the central arcade is very open and airy lined either side with various shops spread over two levels . The central area has bench seating and kiosks . Very nice place to visit and have some retail therapy.

Pin wheel display is amazing 🤩 perfectly matched. This mall has a lot of clothing stores. Tourist can find free toilet here.

What a delight to find and discover this wonderful unique town It has everything old and new with stunning canals along with beaches that's are just 10 minutes drive away

Apologies, I do not wish to waste my time writing reviews that will be rejected by Google's "brilliant" AI.

I enjoyed my day trip stopping by different towns on the way from Portugal to Madrid. We stopped in Aveiro, where we took pictures, ate, and enjoyed the history.

Took a trip to Aviero, which is dubbed the “Venice of Portugal”. It’s home of Portugal’s first open air mall; one of the first in Europe… Forum Aveiro

Aveiro is called the Venice of Portugal where the Ria de Aveiro runs thru the middle of the city. It runs from the Atlantic ocean where there are salt fields . A canal off the river is a fishing village. Definitely take one of the gondolas to see the city and the river.

what a lovely place so super peaceful and I like the view so much you I recommended it.. place and view are so beautiful 😻❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰💋

Aveira Lagoon is sometimes called Little Venice. I wouldn't go as far, but definitely a nice, relaxing place to spend the day.

We made the boat trip and it was great, friendly and funny staff. Share the history of the city.

The Aveiro Lagoon (Ria de Aveiro) is an exceptionally unique natural feature that fundamentally defines the city of Aveiro, earning it the moniker "the Venice of Portugal." Its most distinctive characteristic is its complex network of interconnected canals, lagoons, and islands formed by the confluence of river deltas and the sea. This intricate aquatic landscape is home to a rich ecosystem and provides the picturesque setting for the city. Unique to the lagoon are the colourful moliceiros, traditional wooden boats with distinctive painted prows. These highly decorated boats, once used to harvest moliço (seaweed for fertiliser), now primarily offer scenic tours, providing an iconic visual associated only with Aveiro. The lagoon's constant interaction with the Atlantic Ocean, its role in the region's salt production, and its rich biodiversity, including various bird species, all contribute to making the Ria de Aveiro a singular and vital natural and cultural landscape.

Be careful with the pictures, I’ve been exactly at the point in the map and there were nothin…. Had to take a taxi to go somewhere more interesting Thought to see the colorful buildings on the first pics 😒

Great natural environment and urban one. Aveiro Lagoon is a natural coast geographical 'accident' in the Portuguese coast line. 'Art Noveau' can well be admired in Aveiro

Fantastic place! Reminds me a fairytale, full of hidden paths, moss covered trees and Bible stories. Also there are huge eucalyptus trees there, 160 years old araucaria and even sequoias. It was a pity though that we were not all of to see the hotel lobby - it has magnificent interior

A beautiful palace with a garden and surrounding forest, just like something from a fairy tale. A perfect place to walk around and peacefully admire nature.

It feels like you are back in the time of colonoscopy. Like you, somewhere in Bolivia, and those haciendas for the trade of narco barons. Honestly, time stopped there. Talking about the hotel. The forest is impressive and a long walk.

It is one of the most beautiful forests in Portugal. Located in the heart of the Bairrada region.

Lots of trails to hike and the forest is nice and cool on a hot day

Fantastic hike, we parked outside the park then hiked in. You can also park inside and make a shorter walk. Path’s were clear and very wide.

One of the most scenic and reinvigorating areas in central Portugal. Gorgeous forest, with a few patches of native species. It’s like entering a magic land, with fresh clean air and a lush green canopy. We spent one day with small children and it was way too little. I’ll certainly come back to explore and hike, and potentially spend some volunteering working hours at one of their many environmental actions.

The University of Coimbra is not just a university — it’s a living monument to knowledge, history, and tradition. Walking through its courtyards feels like stepping into the soul of Portugal itself. Every stone seems to hold centuries of stories. The Joanina Library left me completely speechless. Its baroque beauty is breathtaking, but what touched me most was the delicate balance between grandeur and care — even the bats that live there play a role in preserving the old books, protecting them from insects through the night. It’s such a poetic reminder of how nature and history coexist in harmony. The old academic jail was another powerful stop — a stark symbol of how seriously the pursuit of knowledge and discipline were once taken. Standing inside, I could almost feel the echoes of students from long ago, their struggles and ambitions still lingering in the air. Then there’s the PhD defense room, solemn and majestic, where generations of scholars have presented their final work. The atmosphere there is filled with reverence — a quiet celebration of dedication and intellect. What truly makes the University of Coimbra unforgettable is its tradition. From the black capes of the students to the timeless rituals and songs, everything here feels deeply meaningful. It’s a place where the past and present walk side by side, reminding us that education is not just about learning — it’s about belonging to something greater.

Major departments are medicine and law. About 25000 students are enrolled of which about 15% are international students. There are historical sections to visit, such as the library that carries about 60,000 books from 500 years ago Also, the chapel, though small, is very impressive with a unique organ.

Majestic open space with buildings around. A must visit in Coimbra. Great viewpoint as well over the river and Coimbra.

I had an incredible opportunity at the University of Coimbra as an exchange medical student, and it truly exceeded my expectations. The faculty and staff were exceptionally welcoming and supportive, always ready to help with both academic and practical matters. They were experienced professionals who were eager to teach. The hospital environment was dynamic and diverse. I also appreciated the strong sense of collaboration among students, which made the learning atmosphere even more enriching. Beyond academics, Coimbra itself is a beautiful and historic city with a vibrant student culture. Highly recommended for any medical student seeking quality education, cultural exchange, and a warm, welcoming environment. Muito obrigado, Coimbra! 🇵🇹

The University of Coimbra is a treasure trove of history and knowledge. Inside, the stunning Baroque Joanina Library is a must-see with its ornate ceilings and vast collection of ancient books. Another highlight is the Sala dos Capelos, a grand hall with high, decorated ceilings once used for important ceremonies — truly mesmerizing!

In order to visit university you have to buy a ticket - 16€. Library was impressive! (You can't take photos or video inside). I have only seen such libraries in movies. Chapel was also beautiful. The rest was ok. The museums, which are included in the ticket, were ok. For example in the science museum they have a lot of interactive sections, however 90% are not working :( It would be better to have a separate ticket for library, as the rest are not really worth the money.

An elite academic center and an important symbol of Portuguese history and identity. Magnificent in every way.

It feels like a waste of time and money. If photos and filming aren’t allowed and visitors only get 10 minutes inside, maybe it’s better to keep it private instead of opening it to tourists. And the staff? Instead of creating a welcoming experience, they spent the entire time policing who might dare to secretly take a photo. It honestly feels less about preservation and more about profit. When visitors are treated like a problem instead of guests, it stops being culture and becomes just business. (They just need money, money, money to preseve the books, apparently) **Charging a premium while offering stress instead of experience.

Fee is up to 16.5 euros. But it covers the library, chapel, palace, cabinet of curiosities and three other things we found boring. Let's talk about the library since that is the reason to come. Yes it is phenomenal. Yes the staff is kind of rude, overly strict and very pretentious. Yes you only get 10 minutes in the actual library. Yes they seem strict about entry times and have vaguely restrictive hours (we got some attitude because it was right before their 1254-2 lunch hour). I still think it's ultimately worth it. Because they are pretentious and periodically delete their google listing to remove photos, here are a few I found.

Stunning, intriguing, inspiring, historical, mind blowing with beauty and history. Well preserved. Special stories. Especially about the protective bats.

This Baroque library was commissioned by King João V (D. João V) of Portugal and named in his honor. Construction began in 1717 and was completed in 1728, with the first books added in 1750. Today, the library houses over 70,000 rare and antique volumes, many of which were published between the 15th and 18th centuries. The library is divided into three levels: the Noble Floor (upper level), the Middle Floor, and the Prison (lower level). The books are primarily stored on the upper two levels. The Noble Floor is the most ornate, consisting of three interconnected rooms, each with elaborately gilded bookshelves, balconies, and a distinct background color—black, red, and green. The Middle Floor was historically used for the conservation, cataloging, and restoration of books; today, it serves as an exhibition space for historical documents. Note: Entry is only permitted at designated times and must be accompanied by a guide. Photography is strictly prohibited in the Noble Floor. ※ Included in the Combined Ticket: Joanina Library + University + Science Museum.

The library is splendid with rich wood paneling, bookshelves, paintings everywhere. Unfortunately, the person who led us in didn't give any explanation, nor did she speak English. There is so much to see, in only 10 short minutes. And if you are stuck behind a large group of people with decreased mobility going up the stairs, like we were, you only get 8 minutes.

Very cool place! The inside is beautiful. The ticket is worth the price as it includes admission to other parts of the university. However, they absolutely do not allow photos.

The library itself is absolutely stunning - the baroque interiors are breathtaking and genuinely beautiful. That's worth the one additional star. Unfortunately, the staff here were incredibly rude and unhelpful. Everyone has been lovely in the city, but the people working here were shockingly impolite. It completely overshadowed the experience. 2 stars total - one for the beauty, because the space itself deserves it. Just brace yourself for the attitude if you visit.

Portugal dos Pequenitos in Coimbra is a charming miniature park that offers a unique way to explore Portugal’s history and architecture. The park features detailed small-scale replicas of famous Portuguese monuments, traditional houses, and even buildings from former colonies. It’s especially fun for children, who can wander through the tiny structures, but adults will also appreciate the educational and nostalgic aspects. Some areas could use a bit more maintenance, but overall, it’s an enjoyable and memorable visit for families and anyone interested in seeing Portugal’s landmarks in a playful, accessible way.

I have visited Portugal dos Pequeninos the first time at 4 years old, and many times after that. It's an amazing place and experience to adults and children's. The most iconic buildings so well represented. Gorgeous space. Beautiful trees and green spaces. And now they have a passport for the children to stamp at different stands.... they loved them.

Cool experience for young kids and everyone who does not take themselves to serious. It was a cool, even though pricy experience. The houses are well maintained, even though the technic for speakers and lighters is often broken.

It's a nice place with a lot of shades to hide under the sun. The kids would enjoy more if they are more than 5 or 6. We like to buy a passport to collect the stamps.

My granddaughter had a fantastic time visiting this park. Plenty of interactive activities and then just all the miniature houses and castles. I think it will be the highlight of her trip to Portugal 🇵🇹

If you have kids and want something fun to do in Coimbra, this is the place to go! You and your children will enjoy the experience.

A very good place for an excursion, and with children too. The concept for this place will show how diverse Portugal is and how the cultures of the different colonies influenced the architecture of Portugal as we know it today. There is a playground for children at the very end of the exhibition. Take sandwiches with you to have a snack, my family was on a holiday and all the cafes inside were closed.
