Guimaraes Castle is one of the most significant landmarks in Minho and is based just over half an hour away from the centre of the region. First constructed in the 10th century, this striking monument is thought to be the birthplace of Afonso Henriques, the first king of Portugal. This castle was also used to host many great battles throughout history, further emphasising its far-reaching and alluring history. It is also located on the top of a very large hill, giving guests a range of panoramic views as they travel toward the castle. Guests can partake in a guided audio tour and uncover more of the castle’s wondrous origins as they travel through the building.  The Palace of the Dukes of Braganza is another fascinating historical landmark within Minho and is well recognised for its exquisite exterior. This palace was built in the early 15th century and was modelled after the lavish manor houses seen in France during this time. After the Dukes of Braganza moved to the Palace of Vila Vicosa, the monument fell into disarray and was left untouched for a century. Finally, in the 1930s, the palace underwent an extensive reservation process and quickly became a very popular tourist attraction. Guests can enter the palace and observe the well-preserved artefacts and explore the interesting museums that are located on the first floor. The Palace of the Dukes of Braganza is just over half an hour away and welcomes guests from 9 am till 8 pm every day. Minho is also home to a collection of impeccable beaches, allowing guests to gain some rest and relaxation during their time in this region. Praia do Cabedelo hosts a spectacular beach that is filled with soft golden sands and calm water. Due to the tranquil nature of this water, Praia do Cabedelo is a perfect location for surfing and other watersports. Thus, guests can embark on a new exhilarating sport during their time at this fantastic landmark. Praia do Cabedelo is located just under an hour away from the centre of Minho.
