🇵🇹 5 BEST DAY TRIPS LESS THAN 1H DRIVING FROM GERÊS 🚗 📌 Save this post for your next trip! 😉 👉 Vilarinho de Negrões: this picturesque village is located on a tiny peninsula, in Algo Rabagão Lake, which has been formed during the construction of a dam and consequent rise of the waters of River Rabagão. as you can see when looking at the image above, it is one of the most unique (and peaceful) places in Portugal! 💦 👉 Montalegre: this amazing village has really surprised me! I was expecting to see a simple castle and nothing more, but, in addition to have loved the castle and found it super well preserved, I found the houses next to the castle very traditional and beautiful as well! 🏰 👉 Chaves: this city is one of my favourite cities in Portugal! there, you can visit an extremely beautiful historic centre, as well as its castle, and don’t forget to know the fantastic work of Nadir Afonso at @museunadirafonso, I think I’ve spent more than 2h appreciating that Art! 🎨 👉 Braga: known as "Rome of Portugal", the city has been called like this due to the huge number of churches that you can find there, as well as its magestic shrines, which provide incredible views over the city! 🔔 👉 Viana do Castelo: in this city, you can find Santuário de Santa Luzia, on the top of the highest mountain of the city, where you can get breathtaking views over it and the mouth of River Lima! the city itself is very pretty as well, so don’t make you spend at least 2h there, exploring the centre! 🤩 💌 Follow @francisco.travels for more inspiration and travel tips! 🙌 #visitportugal #visitportoandnorth #northofportugal #nortedeportugal #geres #montalegre #chaves #daytrips #postoftheday #daytrip #daytrips #nature #naturephotography #lake #villages #instavillage
