Excursions in Guimaraes

Hey there, fellow adventurers! Are you ready to embark on a journey through time and culture? Look no further than Guimarães, the birthplace of Portugal itself. At Foxiepass, we're not just tour guides – we're your local friends, eager to show you the hidden gems and iconic landmarks that make this city truly special.

Why Guimarães? Well, let me tell you...

Guimarães isn't just another pretty face in Portugal's crown of beautiful cities. It's where the country's first king, Afonso Henriques, was born. Talk about a claim to fame! But that's just the beginning of what makes this place so darn captivating.

Our guided tours will take you on a whirlwind adventure through the city's most enchanting spots. Trust me, you won't want to miss a single one!

Must-See Spots on Our Foxiepass Tours:

• Guimarães Castle: This isn't just any old castle – it's THE castle. Standing tall since the 10th century, it's like stepping into a real-life fairy tale. Our guides will regale you with tales of knights, battles, and royal intrigue that'll make your head spin!
• Palace of the Dukes of Braganza: Ever wondered how the other half lived back in the day? This 15th-century palace will give you a taste of the luxe life, medieval style. The architecture alone is enough to make your jaw drop.
• Historic City Center: UNESCO World Heritage Site alert! Wander through winding cobblestone streets, gawk at centuries-old buildings, and soak in the atmosphere of a place where history is literally written on the walls.
• Largo da Oliveira: The heart of the old town, this square is where the action happens. Grab a coffee, people-watch, and admire the stunning Igreja de Nossa Senhora da Oliveira. It's the perfect spot for those Instagram-worthy shots!
• Monte da Penha: Ready for a change of scenery? We'll whisk you up to this nearby mountain for breathtaking views of the city and surrounding countryside. On a clear day, you can see for miles!
