Things to do in Northern Portugal, Portugal: The Best Other Outdoor Activities
Brimming with both history and natural wonder, Northern Portugal is home to Porto, the city that gave the country its name, as well as the important ancient town of Braga. Also here is Peneda-Gerês, Portugal’s only national park, a gorgeous wilderness area of mountains, gorges, water features and wildlife. Many picturesque villages and manor houses dot the countryside. Two areas are UNESCO World Heritage Sites: the Alto Douro Wine Region, and the Paleolithic rock art in the Côa Valley.

An awesome spot to stop for a bit. Very beautiful but you need to be careful because it's difficult to reach. Amazing pictures and time that you can spend over there.

In the mid-900s A.D., this castle was constructed. A National Monument since 1910, this castle did see conflicts associated with the growth of a unified and independent Portugal. The displays in its museum are very good and you can get an accurate and complete outline of the history of Portugal by purchasing a "Guimaraes Pass" which gains you access toa dozen of the historical and archeological sites in the Guimaraes area. Highly recommended - especially because the pass is good for several days and the old town is beautiful.
