It proved to be one of my greatest discoveries in Portugal . Medieval chambers, gobellens, historic entourage and a wonderful chapel. Amazing place! Strongly recommended...

Extra: Temporary Exhibit of Catapults and Siege Weapons is an insult to tourists . The models could be interesting, but the texts are copy-pasted without context and physically hard to read. Shameful.

Absolutely magnificent. You can simply feel the glaze and magnificence of the past from each and everywhere in the palace .

The Paço dos Duques de Bragança, built in the 15th century by the then-future duke Dom Afonso, shows elements of architectural styles common in the great manor houses and palaces of northern Europe.

The president of Portugal sleeps on the 3rd floor of the castle when he visits Guimaraes

The first Sunday of the month is free to visit :-)

Terrible. A loose collection of pieces, even if individually interesting, does not a museum make. There was no single room or display that seemed to have been put together for a purpose. Avoid!

Palace worth visiting. Castle does not.

Go ahead and pay the entrance fee and have a look around. Each room had a card which describes everything so it's really helpful.

I thought it was nothing special.

Leandro Machado

Estar atento às tapeçarias do século XVII sobre a história de Publio, desenhadas por Rubens. Os tetos em forma de casco de navio invertido dos salões principais são muito belos.

Vale a visitação. Um pouquinho da história de Portugal preservada nesse Palácio .

Pedro Correia

Palácio muito bonito e em impecável estado de conservação. O espólio é bastante rico mas achei os 5€ cobrados à entrada excessivos!

Fernanda Eggers

Ambientes do palácio preservados para visitação.

Cristiano Prates

Locais lindos e históricos .
