Overview

Tour overview

Explore Braga and Guimarães on a shared day trip from Porto. Discover historic landmarks, medieval streets, Portuguese heritage, and two fascinating northern cities.

Description

Travel from Porto to Santiago in a shared group of up to 8, with a local guide and round trip transport. Your guide shares general information about the route and region; explore Santiago at your own pace. Pair the pilgrimage city with Valença do Minho, a historic Portuguese fortress town.

If scheduled during your visit, attend the Pilgrim’s Mass in Santiago, explore the Cathedral area and historic centre, and enjoy free time for lunch. On the return to Porto, spend about one hour in Valença’s fortress streets, with views of the Minho River and Spain.

Depart Porto at 8:00 a.m. and return around 6:00 p.m. (Portuguese local time). Lunch and paid admissions are not included.

The Pilgrim’s Mass follows the Cathedral’s schedule and venue. As of October 2026, the noon service is held at San Agustín Church during restoration works. The Botafumeiro is temporarily out of service and is not included or guaranteed.
