1. Nossa Senhora da Pena Viewpoint

5 based on 10 reviews
Reviewed By JCN53 - Vila Nova de Famalicao, Portugal
Quando chega ao largo da Nossa Senhora da Pena, à direita, encontra um carreirinho estreito, mas pavimentado, que dá acesso ao Miradouro de Nª Srª da Pena, mandado construir pela Câmara de Paredes de Coura, (com ajuda Comunitária), que nos permite apreciar todo o vale à nossa frente (com o centro de Paredes de Coura) e todas as belezas que a nossa vista alcança.
São uns bons pares de degraus (bem seguros) mas a subida é fartamente recompensada lá encima.
Não deixe de ir. Vale bem as energias gastas.

If you are in Ponte de Lima, it is mandatory to go through the Roman bridge. It is a nice experience to think about all the years of history that this bridge has witnessed. Take advantage of the view of the town for both sides. It is also a great opportunity to take some great photos.
3. Tui Cathedral

Reviewed By EddPT
The Cathedral is amazing, and it's a very imponent building if you arrive at Tui from Portugal.
You can walk freely and even go on top of a defense tower that has a magnificient view.
The only issue I had was with the audio guide. Sometimes it was confusing and would explain things in one corner of the room and next thing the guide is talking about some thing on the oposite side.
Staff is really friendly.
Really worth the visit.
4. Puente de Ponte da Barca
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 107 reviews
Reviewed By Big-G66 - Bristol, United Kingdom
An interesting friendly little town with its iconic arched bridge - much longer than you would possibly expect. Some interesting bronze artwork near the river and some not so interesting metal and plastic 'cut-out' Roman Soldiers near the bank illustrating a legend about Legionnaires being afraid to cross until encouraged by their leader (depicted on horseback on the far bank).
Ample car parking - worth a visit.

This is a beautiful park along the River Minho. It is a short day trip from Raxo, Vigo and other cities in Spain. It has everything from jungle gyms, to rock climbing walls to a splash pad area.
6. Penedo do Milho Viewpoint

Reviewed By JCN53 - Vila Nova de Famalicao, Portugal
Do alto da plataforma do Miradouro do Penedo do Milho, construída em ferro galvanizado , pela Câmara de Paredes de Coura, vê-se toda a zona do centro da cidade e seus arredores, pelo lado Sul. Conjuntamente com o Miradouro de Nª Srª da Pena (lado Norte) é uma forma excelente de apreciar as paisagens desta belíssima região do Alto Minho.
Se gosta de Natureza tem mesmo de lá ir.

If you are looking for an opportunity to lose yourself in a couple of hours reminiscing about your childhood toys and games, take a visit to this lovely museum. (There's nothing digital here!). In addition to being a testimony to Portugal's fantastic toy manufacturing industry, they have some fabulous exhibits and at the end of the main museum tour, a huge train-set - something that children from our era at least could only dream of.

Reviewed By KrisMacG - Dundee, United Kingdom
One of the area's National Monument, Paco de Giela (Manor House of Giela) is an archaeological site which includes a manor house which sits on foundations that date back to the early middle ages. The manor house and chapel, and grounds have been restored and visitors can go right inside the remains of the building. The restoration work was very well done. We were lucky at the time of the visit as this site had just opened to the public and we even had a guided tour from one of the staff that was a part of the team of archaeologists excavating and studying the site. Well worth a visit.

We were stressed about arranging transport for packs and luggage on the Camino Portuguese. So glad I found Tuitrans. Their service is superb and the prices are very fair.
