O Castelo de Guimarães começou por um mosteiro mandado construir por Mumadona Dias no século X, antes, portanto, da formação de Portugal. Como os ataques dos mouros eram frequentes decidiram construir uma muralha para proteger a comunidade e os monges que viviam no seu interior. Foi esta fortaleza que deu origem ao Castelo de Guimarães. Mais tarde, no século XII, foi neste castelo que nasceu Dom Afonso Henriques que viria a ser o primeiro rei de Portugal. Com a falta de uso o castelo foi-se degradando. Recentemente foi recuperado e classificado como Monumento Nacional. É também considerado Patrimônio Mundial pela UNESCO. Um lugar cheio de história e que foi berço de Portugal. Não é à toa que em um pedaço da muralha original tem os dizeres “Aqui nasceu Portugal”.

The Castle of Guimarães began with a monastery built by Mumadona Dias in the 10th century, before, therefore, the formation of Portugal. As the attacks of the Moors were frequent they decided to build a wall to protect the community and the monks that lived inside. It was this fort that gave origin to the Castle of Guimarães. Later, in the twelfth century, it was in this castle that Dom Afonso Henriques was born. Some years after he would become the first king of Portugal. With the lack of use the castle was degrading. Recently it was recovered and classified as National Monument. It is also considered World Heritage by UNESCO. A place full of history and that was cradle of Portugal. It is no wonder that in a piece of the original wall has the words "Here was born Portugal".

Stay Hotel Porto Aeroporto

10/10 Excellent

"Breakfast was very reasonable (10€) and decent spread for a continental breakfast - beats paying much more for airport food. Reception staff were very friendly and approachable. Bar was open for snacks after late flight arrivals and able to take up to the room which was great. About 7 minutes walk to the airport so overall this was a great stay for an overnight layover in Porto."

Zero Box Lodge Porto

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, wife and i needed a retreat from the hussle and bussle of Porto and this provided it. Strongly believe its a great spot to relax with own tucked away pod, dark, and cool when needed with comfortable bed and amenities, but great common spaces, spa, pool, restruant and common area. Also very well situated in Porto. Highly highly recommend. "
