Bom Jesus de Monte Funicular

Head to Gerês National Park on this 10-hour excursion from Porto. Stop for coffee along the way, before arriving at the park. From June to September, enjoy an 8-kilometer hike that takes you past 10 magnificent natural pools (from November to May, the hike will be 10 kilometers long). Stop to enjoy a refreshing swim along the way. Once you reach the heart of the Park, enjoy a picnic as you admire the stunning views around you. A small picnic will be provided, but if everyone brings something to share, it will be more of a feast.  After taking in the views and fresh air, you’ll return to Porto.

This tour offers a unique view of the history of Braga and enables you to experience monuments and nature. Start by visiting a wonderful Visigothic chapel, in a complex with a variety of elements from different ages. Then, the enormous Tibães Monastery tells you its story and that of the region through its impressive church, buildings and gardens. Finally, Bom Jesus welcomes you in its stairway, where the historical hydraulic elevator will transport you to the fabulous sanctuary and viewpoint.
