Castelo Branco Guided Tour
Castelo Branco Tour
At the scheduled time we'll meet on Avenida Nuno Álvares to start this guided tour of Castelo Branco. Ready to take a stroll around the capital of the Beira Baixa region?
During the tour, we'll journey back in time to the Middle Ages to learn about the glorious past of Castelo Branco. From this perspective, we'll admire the ruins of the city walls from the outside and, the Castle of Castelo Branco. We'll also learn about the Knights Templars.
We'll also stroll through the City Park and discover why the Portuguese Crown decided to decorate Castelo Branco with the title of a notable town. All this, while admiring the façades of emblematic monuments like the Clock Tower and the Cathedral, which stands out for its combination of Romanesque, Gothic, and Baroque styles.
We'll also discuss how the city has evolved, admiring houses that date back to the 16th century, and tell you about the town's most deeply rooted traditional activities. Ever heard of the quilts of Castelo Branco?
After an hour and a half, we'll bring this walking tour of Castelo Branco to an end, by returning to the starting point.
