February 19, 2022 Randal Brittian

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.

The Drifter Surfing Club

We'd like to inform you, In case you're thinking about learning how to surf, that your life will change completely. Surf is extremely addictive! ​ All of us surfers have gone through the experience somehow. Since the moment our friend bought a new surfboard, and suddenly the old one became the best board in the world to learn how to surf, 'till the day we are making up excuses to escape work or our girlfriend/boyfriend, just because someone called telling that it was pumping... It's all part of the process, and we're here to help! Our Club was funded with the intention to get people together with the same passion for the Ocean and the Waves as we do. We believe the relationships with the people we meet along the way, or the experiences we're living, are just as important as keeping the balance on top of the surfboard, or catching the waves at the right timming. We believe our activities are suited for all ages.

Santuario de Santa Luzia

Reviewed By Soggy63 - Edinburgh, United Kingdom

A few years ago my wife and I walked through Viana do Castelo, whilst walking the Camino Portuguese and I saw Santuario de Santa Luzia on the hill but didn’t have time to visit. Last week we were back in Viana do Castelo and decided to visit and were not disappointed. Due to it being such a hot day we decided to make the journey up and down via the funicular railway, which itself is impressive. Santuario de Santa Luzia is a fantastic dome roofed church with beautiful paintings on the ceiling. The building is both impressive inside and out. From the steps the views over Viana do Castelo and the Atlantic Ocean as amazingly. Santuario de Santa Luzia is definitely worth a visit.
