WHERE TO EAT AND SERVICES
Activities for everyone, to explore the region
CULTURE
Visit the centre of Viseu
Just a few kilometres away, discover the garden city. The Sé square, medieval streets and the Grão Vasco Museum. A leisurely stroll among cafés, terraces and small workshops that keep the region's slow pace.
WINE TOURISM
Solar do Vinho do Dão
An essential stop for anyone wanting to get to know the Dão appellation in depth. Guided tastings, a themed library and a shop featuring more than a hundred producers throughout the year.
CULTURE
Bussaco National Forest and Palace
One of Europe's most unique forests, with over 250 tree species and the neo-Manueline palace at its heart. An unrepeatable setting for a morning of discovery.
WELLNESS
Thermal Spas
Medicinal waters a short distance away. Several thermal resorts with relaxation programmes, massages and classic treatments — a serene way to extend your stay.
ADVENTURE
Walking Trails
Set off on foot: waymarked trails in the Serra do Caramulo (PR1, PR2, PR3) and long routes in the Estrela. Suitable for all levels, with landscapes that reward every step.
WINE TOURISM
Wineries, Producers and Estates
Visit the neighbouring wineries. Enjoy a genuine experience alongside the producers who give the Dão its soul, and taste wines straight from the slopes where they were born.
NATURE
Dão Greenway
49 km of former railway line turned into a route for walking or cycling, crossing villages, stone bridges and valleys. One of the most beautiful itineraries.
CULTURE
Caramulo Museum
A one-of-a-kind museum, with a renowned car collection and art spanning Picasso, Dalí and Vieira da Silva. The climb up to Caramulo is worth the trip on its own; the museum turns it into a lasting memory.
CRAFTS
Black Pottery Workshop
Discover the traditional black clay craft of Molelos. Visit the workshop, watch the pieces take shape on the wheel, and take home an object with centuries of history in its making.
