Exclusive Shore Event: Porto, Portugal | Guimares & Casa de Juste Manor House

Welcome to Porto! Upon arrival, we will head towards one of the most impressive towns in the North of Portugal: the city of Guimares where you'll have the chance to enjoy its beauty and simplicity. This is the "cradle" of Portuguese nationality and the first important city of the kingdom of Portugal with references that illustrate more than 800 years of history. This was the birthplace of the first King of Portugal, Afonso Henriques.
We'll walk through the narrow streets of the historical center and reach the beautiful square of Oliveira and you'll be tempted to stop for a cup of coffee in one of its street cafes before departing towards our lunch venue. In the surroundings of Guimares, you will find the 14th century Manor House Casa de Juste.
Surrounded by lush gardens the granite manor house is one of the most well-preserved examples of the traditional lifestyle of the North of Portugal. Guests will be welcomed with a nice welcome drink and we'll be able to explore the manor house and the gardens just before our lunch is served in one of the charming areas of the manor house.
Suggested Attire/Walking Notes: Comfortable clothing and shoes.

Approximate Length: 6 hours
