Historic centre - Unesco by micas_pt
The historic centre is classified by Unesco as World Heritage site. This comprises the Praça de Santiago, a most important square on the city?s history, as well as street D. Maria (which connects the castle and palace with the city centre and the mentioned square). Also, the square of Toural is included on the classified zone.Along the streets and squares of city historic centre you may admire medieval houses and some other manor houses and palaces, some of them extremely well-kept.
You should reserve some time for strolling around the city, as it is truly worth it. I can never get enough of the narrow streets and medieval houses of Guimarães. At night city is also very pleasant and illuminated, and if visiting during the weekend you will surely come across lots of locals during their evening walk.
