The 10 Best Things to do Good for Couples in Viana do Castelo, Northern Portugal

December 4, 2021 Jeremy Dunfee

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.

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.

Igreja da Misericordia

Reviewed By Crossgates1

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.
