Hi there! Welcome to Guimarães and Braga, Portugal. My name is Fernanda. In the past I have studied Tourism and worked as a hotel receptionist for 6 years in Oporto. I then returned to University and got a Bachelor's degree in Portuguese/Latin/Greek and became a teacher. Ten years ago I decided to become a stay-at-home mom so that I could devote my time to my children and family. Now my children have grown up, and I decided to return to the work force. So here I am! I like talking to people and I have enjoyed visiting cultural sites and monuments ever since I was a child. I especially like to communicate with people from other countries and cultures. Finally, Braga and Guimarães are two towns I know really well. For many years I studied in both Braga and Guimarâes, and I also worked for years in Guimarâes. I would be happy to be your personal tour guide as I have done so many times for my overseas friends. I would love to take you to popular places as well as places unknown to the average tourists. I can provide you with the valuable insight of a real local, along with a unique experience. Please feel free to contact me with any questions. I look forward to talking with you about your exciting personal tour! Take care, Fernanda Tourism degree Portuguese/Latin/Greek bachelor's degree I am not an official guide, therefore I will not be able to guide you inside of specific historical monuments.

Walk through the medieval town and archeological site " Briteiros".
Overview of your Braga tour
Guimarães, Unesco's World Heritage since 2001, is known as "Crib of nationality. It is an exceptionally well-preserved medieval town. Several monuments, as the Castle ( according to the Tourism- Review" magazine one of the 10 best castles in Europe), Dukes Palace, museums, churches and medieval typical houses make this charming small town, unique and really worth to visit. Every monument and location have historical and narrative content. The fascinating "Citânia de Briteiros" is an exceptionally well-preserved and authentic example of the evolution of a medieval settlement into a modern town, its rich building typology exemplifies the specific development of Portuguese architecture from the 15th to 19th century through the consistent use of traditional building materials and techniques.
