The Details
Your holiday begins in the historic city of Guimaraes, birthplace of the Portuguese nation, where you’ll get acquainted with the historic plazas and traditional architecture of this UNESCO-protected medieval city.
Next, you’ll head north into the Tras-os-Montes region of Portugal, which sits between the natural river borders of the Douro and Tamega and is renowned for its fabulous regional wines, olive oil and honey. Your home is the Peneda Geres National Park – if you enjoy hiking and kayaking, Peneda Geres is a playground with its granite mountains and rugged rivers valleys.
You’ll end your stay in Portugal’s bustling second city Porto. It’s a nice contrast to your time in rural Geres – the city’s brightly coloured architecture, rickety wooden trams, riverside restaurants and port lodges make for a memorable end to a great holiday.
