My Guimarães: E-Bike Experience
About your local host
Olá
I am Carla and I am born and raised in Guimarães. Like all the inhabitants of Guimarães, I have immense pride in our city and in our customs and traditions. The union of people is something that is alive in this city.
Despite this affection for Guimarães, I am also a lover of knowledge. I love to discover traditions and cultures different from mine, fantastic people and new places. It was for this reason that I spent 10 months living in Vietnam during college time.
I had the opportunity to meet lots of countries in an area where everything is so different from my country. What sets me apart is undoubtedly the contact with local people, and this is what I hope will also mark you when you carry out this experience with me.
About your experience
Have you ever heard about the city of Guimarães and its rich history?
Don’t waste more time and join me on this bike tour through this incredible city. We will explore Guimarães while cycling in a comfortable electric bike.
By bike, I will show you the charming city of Guimarães, founded over a thousand years ago and its magnificent landscapes in Penha park, a unique place on the top of a hill with a stunning view.
Known as the Nation’s Birthplace, and for our proud inhabitants, Guimarães is a fascinating place to visit and you will understand why its old town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
We will start this bike tour closer to Toural Square, just beside the famous wall inscription “AQUI NASCEU PORTUGAL”, meaning, Portugal was born here! Then cycling through the old town’s beautiful narrow streets, you will see the ancient houses, historical churches, towers and squares, until we stop to admire the iconic Nossa Senhora da Oliveira Church and Padrão do Salado monument. After we will keep cycling heading to S. Mamede field, where we will find the gigantic Palace of the Dukes of Bragança and the full of history, Guimarães Castle. Penha’s Santuary lays on the top of a hill, but don’t worry, we never leave our bikes but we will go to the top by cable car and we will be there in just a few minutes. During the ascending you will have an amazing view, but save the enthusiasm because, in Penha park , you will find a quite place surrounded by unique nature. Here we will have our lunch in a very traditional place. Join me, and discover all Guimarães history and stories through this immersive cycling experience.Read more
