This museum has to be one of Portugal's unsung heroes. There is so much to do and see in Portugal but this museum is a must see. My husband and I were blown away by the beauty of the little church and the wonderful ceilings. We spent about an hour and a half here wondering around taking photos just taking in the beauty all around us.

Came here for a few hours with my boyfriend and our friend, the castle is located in a lovely town at the top of the hill offering great views of it below. The grounds are beautifully kept and the castle itself is in great condition, plus your able to walk inside and up to the top. This is my second time here and I'd definitely come again. The church next to the castle is also beautiful and worth a visit.

Traveling from "O Porto" to "Coimbra", we stopped shortly at "Aveiro". A small town famous for its beautiful canals ("Rías de Aveiro"), the colorful boats "Moliceiros", the innumerous Art-Nouveau buildings (as the "Casa do Major Pessoa - Museu Arte Nova"), the conventual sweets ("Ovos Moles d'Aveiro", naturally) and the awesome porcelain "Museu Vista Alegre" in nearby Ílhavo. Unmissable by anyone traveling in Northern Portugal! Enjoy!
