The total distance of this road trip is around 550 kilometres.

We have designed the tours of Vintage Tours in such a way that there is always enough time to enjoy the sights and landscapes. On your tour through the north of Portugal, you will cover around 150 kilometres a day in your vintage car. We make sure to take long enough lunch breaks to give you enough time to enjoy the flair of the restaurants and the typical local food.

This tour is characterised by the wonderful landscape of the Peneda-Gerês National Park, which is the only national park in Portugal. In addition, the north of Portugal and the Minho region also offer a lot of history and towns worth seeing, which you will also visit. Guimarães is considered the cradle of Portugal, Braga is home to the oldest cathedral in the country and Ponte de Lima is a must-see due to its location and architecture. You will spend the night in historic Pousadas de Portugal, which will also introduce you to history, culture and typical Portuguese cuisine.

Guimarães is one of the most beautiful towns in the north of Portugal. The cityscape is characterised by buildings from the Middle Ages and charming squares lined with traditional buildings. The Paço dos Duques palace and the Castelo de Guimarães are well worth a visit.

Braga is home to the oldest cathedral in Portugal, making it the religious centre of Portugal. Braga has magnificent squares that invite you to linger. A visit to the Bom Jesus do Monte monastery, which offers a unique view of Braga, rounds off a visit to Braga.

The scenic beauty of the Peneda-Gerês National Park is unrivalled: Vintage Tours takes you through enchanted river valleys and fern forests as well as along rugged rock formations. We pass a wide variety of monasteries that still serve as pilgrimage towns today. Let yourself be surprised by the scenic diversity of this region, which will make your Vintage Tour a unique and unforgettable experience.

The Lima Valley develops westwards from a rugged rocky landscape to a wide river delta, which is characterised by the cultivation of Vinho Verde wine. The journey along the Lima leads through a multitude of medieval villages. The highlight of the journey is the small towns of Ponte da Barca and Ponte de Lima, whose townscape is characterised by the eponymous Roman bridge that connects the two districts. Ponte de Lima, which today is a crowd-puller in the north of Portugal, has a large number of historic manor houses. Here you can sample the typical cuisine of the Minho region and will be delighted by the Vinho Verde wines.

For overnight stays during the tour, we have selected several pousadas that will bring you closer to the rich culture of northern Portugal. These include the Pousada Mosteiro de Amares. This is located in a Cistercian monastery from the 12th century, which was restored by the famous architect Eduardo Souto de Moura. This is where history meets modernity - dinner in the monastery kitchen takes you back to the Middle Ages.

You will receive a road book at the start of the tour, in which the routes are described in detail. This gives you the opportunity to set your own pace on the sections of your vintage tour and linger where you particularly like it.

After your arrival at the hotel, you will receive a comprehensive introduction to our MGAs and also have the opportunity to familiarise yourself with the car on a short test drive and get ready for your vintage tour.

We take care of the transport of your luggage between the individual stages - so you can cover the day's stages with a small amount of hand luggage.

Our MGAs offer weather protection - so we will try to organise the tours as planned even in bad weather - because the tour is worth it!

Our MGAs are more than 60 years old and require a careful hand - this is our express wish for you!

The group size is a maximum of 10 participants. This allows us to respond much better to your individual needs and gives you the opportunity to exchange ideas with your fellow travellers - if you like.
