Guimarães Travel Guide: 158 reviews and 451 photos

Small and beautyful

We got a map from trainstation,and just walked straight to what seemed the old town centre.At this squere or just before it we saw tourist-info.They had good little guides free,where was all the nice buildings and squeres with photos and marked to map with numbers.
It was a great help for us,because we only had some hours to spend here.

Streets of old town

Old town streets were nice to walk,because everywhere you looked were beautyful houses like these ones.

Flowers at balcony

This is just one house at Praca de Oliveira where we sit down for a coke and pasteis de nata.
