Description

Chaves Day Trip

At the scheduled time, we'll pick you up from your hotel in Montalegre and set off for the city of Chaves in the north of Portugal. Our journey, which will be by 4x4 or minibus, will take around 45 minutes.

Upon arrival, we'll visit the exterior of the medieval castle of Chaves. This fortress, which currently houses a military museum, has witnessed the conflicts between Spain and Portugal.

We'll then visit the facades of the forts of São Francisco and São Neutel, 17th-century buildings built to defend the city from the Spanish. The next stop will be the beautiful Roman bridge over the Tâmega River, built under the orders of Trajan, the first Hispanic emperor, whose arches have remained intact since Roman times!

Afterwards, we'll visit the Estrada Nacional 2 and its Kilometre 0 before heading to the Roman thermal baths, an important meeting place for the society of the time. Did you know that its medicinal waters are among the warmest in Europe?

After 3 hours on the road, we'll return to Montalegre and take you back to your hotel.
