10 Things to do Good for a Rainy Day in Viana do Castelo That You Shouldn't Miss
A self-guided walking tour is the best way to appreciate the stunning architecture of Viana do Castelo. The buildings date from several different centuries so styles vary: highlights include the early 20th-century Basilica of Santa Luzia; the 16th-century fountain and former city hall building at the Praça da República; the gothic Cathedral on the Largo da Matriz; and the Monument to Caramuru and Paraguaçu, built just a few years ago in 2009.

Recommended by our wonderful hotel (Casa Manuel Espregueira e Oliveira), it looks like just another 18 Century refaced building which you can see pretty much anywhere in Portugal. But go inside, and it is something special: I am not religious but my word, the sheer beauty and peace of the building held my attention for way longer than I would ever have imagined. As others have said, it’s just €1 as an entry fee: at €3 it would still have been astonishing value. They should reprice, and release even more money to protect this amazing space.

I enjoyed every little bit of this museum. 95% is translated to English. There are exactly as many words as needed to feel the exhibitions. It is a very entertaining way to get acquainted with the region and its traditions. I was especially surprised by the exposition about making decorative things from gold - I would never imagine it can be so interesting and beautiful and I would spend half an hour in a room of 8 m2. I have also greatly enjoyed the temporal exhibition about a lady Fado singer from XX century, very inspiring and well organised exhibition, as well as the entire museum. Greatly reccommend.
