Guimaraes

N'hésitez pas à explorer à votre propre rythme et à découvrir

Arrêt : 3 h 30 min - entrée non incluse

A cradle of kings and cobbled lanes, Guimaraes breathes life into Portugal’s storied beginnings. Often called the birthplace of Portugal, Guimaraes is a living museum of medieval beauty and national pride. Begin at Guimaraes Castle and the Palace of the Dukes, where tales of the first Portuguese king echo through stone halls and hanging tapestries. Then wander into the Old Town, through Rua de Santa Maria and Largo da Oliveira, where iron balconies, Gothic arcades, and intricate tiles create a timeless backdrop. Don’t leave without sampling a Toucinho do Ceu or Bacalhau a Ze do Pipo at a tucked-away tavern - Guimaraes is history you can taste.

Great transfer option.

I used this service for a transfer from Split in Croatia to Perast Montenegro. My experience was exceptional. My driver Bojan was helpful, informative and ensured my journey was comfortable and enjoyable. I highly recommend the service.

It was a fantastic trip.

We were extremely satisfied with the quality of service we received from Day Trip. We had two Day Trip rides on August 31 from Athens to Lefkada and September 7 from Lefkada back to Athens. Both trips included stops at scenic sites in Greece. Both drivers were excellent and accommodating. However, we’d especially like to recognize Panos Peppas, who was our driver from Lefkada to Athens. Panos was incredibly nice & pleasant and delivered outstanding customer service, which included handling all of luggage, providing us with cold waters throughout the trip, providing us protein bars, providing us with printed materials on the Corinth Canal (one of scenic stops), looking up and providing us with terminal & gate info for our flight back home and providing us with a recipe for tzatziki.

Best transport company anywhere

We absolutely love this company and have used it many times over the years to get from A to B without the hassle of hiring a car ourselves. Excellent drivers every time. Efficient and professional. It’s worth every penny and we can honestly recommend Day Trip to everyone. It’s 5 star rating is well deserved.

Excellent experience in traveling

We traveled from Nuremberg to Munich in a beautiful Audi. Driver picked us at our hotel at the exact time requested. Got us to Munich in plenty of time for our next tour. Driver made sure we were comfortable

Reasonably Priced and Safe Transportation

Gonzalo from daytrip was our driver and he was absolutely amazing. He went over and beyond trying to locate us as our service wasn't so good on our phones. He patiently awaited our arrival to the lobby so he could take us from Tulum Dreams Resort to our other hotel in cancun an hour and a half away near the airport prior to our departure flight home. He was polite, respectful and kind. Made sure we were comfortable during our long ride. Fast and to the point. I recommend this company as finding a one way ride from Tulum to Cancun isn't easy or cheap and this company provides a great service for a great price. I will definitely be using them again whenever I'm in the Cancun/Tulum area. Thank you DayTrip and Gonzola.

Daytrip never disappoints

We were picked up by Marianna to drive us from Heraklion to Chania. The weather was terrible & due to this Marianna arrived a few minutes late. She contacted me to advise of this. Marianna lives in Chana and she made our trip very interesting by informing us of local things to do and see in Chania. Marianna is a safe driver and we all felt comfortable with the speed she drove at and how good her driving was in heavy rain. She is a lovely person with fluent English. We highly recommend Daytrips and if you are in Heraklion or Chania please make sure you ask for Marianna.

Great driver in Egypt

Used the service to go from Luxor to Hurghada, Egypt. Ahmed H was our driver and he was perfect. The car was new, clean, he had water and snacks for us, and accommodated our stops. Great service from him and would recommend it.

Comfortable and Safe Rides in Mexico

Used Daytrip for two rides in Mexico, which were both great. So comfortable, and we arrived at each of our destinations at a great time. Both were incredible drivers, and we felt so safe. One of our drivers, Miguel, also played the best music! Will definitely use Daytrip on our next trip to Mexico.

Great way to travel and see some sights on the way

We did not know what to expect with this trip and booked from Australia. We were initially looking for an easy way to travel from Granada to Malaga. We decided not to waste the opportunity to see something additional on our way. Miguel certainly exceeded our expectations. His English was excellent (unfortunately we speak very little Spanish), and he was very friendly and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed hearing about the regions as we passed through and also discussing some of the local ways. Miguel took us to Antequera as planned and ensured we were able to easily get our tickets to the attractions without any sense of rushing us. We were picked up and dropped off punctually and really enjoyed our trip. Hopefully we will return to Spain and we can use this service again sometime.

Excellent service

We used the service twice while in Thailand. Extremely prompt and efficient customer service. Best rate being offered in Chiang Mai for the travels. Polite, punctual, professional and English speaking drivers. Clean, comfortable vehicles. Being a regular visitor to Thailand, this was hands down the best service. Most pleased with the company. I hope it sustains the excellence of service that was rendered to us.

Know more about your day trip

Guimaraes earned this title because Portugal's first king, Afonso Henriques, was born here in the 12th century. The city was the country's first capital and the site where Afonso declared Portugal's independence from Leon. During your 3.5-hour visit, you'll discover how this UNESCO World Heritage city's medieval castle, palace, and historic center played crucial roles in the formation of Portuguese national identity.

With 3.5 hours in Guimaraes, prioritize the imposing medieval castle, the 15th-century Palace of the Dukes of Braganza, and the well-preserved historic center with its charming squares like Largo da Oliveira. Don't miss the Nossa Senhora da Oliveira Church, Santiago Square, and the unique balconied buildings along Rua de Santa Maria. The cable car to Penha mountain offers panoramic views for those with extra time.

Guimaraes' historic center is compact and mostly pedestrianized, making it ideal for walking. The castle and palace are located uphill from the center, requiring some moderate climbing. Most major sites are within a 15-minute walk of each other. The historic center features some cobblestone streets, but they're generally well-maintained. Comfortable shoes are recommended for making the most of your 210-minute visit.

Sample "tortas de Guimaraes" (sweet pastries filled with squash), "toucinho do ceu" (almond cake), or "queijo da serra" (mountain cheese). For savory options, try "rojoes" (fried pork chunks) or "bacalhau a Gil Eanes" (codfish). Local wines include vinho verde from the surrounding Minho region. Your driver can recommend authentic restaurants in the historic center where you can enjoy these regional specialties during your visit.

The 10th-century Guimaraes Castle allows visitors to explore its interior courtyard, walk sections of the defensive walls, and climb the main tower for panoramic views. While some areas have limited accessibility due to the medieval structure, the main courtyard is accessible to most visitors. The castle's well-preserved state offers insight into medieval military architecture and provides excellent photo opportunities of both the structure and surrounding city.

Guimaraes features a remarkable architectural timeline from the Romanesque castle and Gothic churches to Renaissance palaces and ornate baroque buildings. The historic center displays a distinctive style with granite facades, colorful balconies, and timber-framed upper stories. Many buildings feature the unique "Manueline" style—a Portuguese late Gothic approach with maritime motifs. This architectural diversity earned the city its UNESCO World Heritage status.
