Bus Viana/ Pontevedra or Vigo

by Grabybaby

We are coming to Viana for 3 days in October prior to a couple of days in Oporto.

We are coming from Vigo/Pontevedra.

There is a train twice a day at inconvenient times and wonder what the bus service is like and whether there are any direct buses please. We will not be hiring a car.

Many thanks

I don't know if this is of some help, but if you can take a faster connection to Oporto then take a bus from Oporto to Viana ?
Have a look at times : http://www.avminho.pt

Seems a bit silly having to go via Oporto but you never know. You get the chance to see it twice.

The high point of religious feast comes in the afternoon with the Solemn Procession of the Senhora da Agonia.
The dazzling firework display ends the first day of the festival. The festival ends with the Serenata - a cascade of fireworks along the Eiffel Bridge.

Praça da República

Praça da República is the main square in Viana Do Castelo.
It´s a pretty square surrounded by historical buildings and two fountains and you have a few cafes with outdoor serving there so it´s the natural meeting point if you are in Viana Do Castelo.

Beautiful Viana

by ntm2322

Viana do Castelo is one of the most beautiful cities in North of Portugal. If you appreciate genuine, typical places then visit this city.

I spent one full year there right after returning from Africa in 1976 and in the following years I went back to spend Christmas with my grandmother and auntie who lived together. All the family gathered in their house and we were about 40 people, a huge family indeed (and one of the oldest of the region).

Viana do Castelo is situated in the North of Portugal, Minho province.

The major industry of Viana do Castelo is naval construction and the city possesses the only shipyard that exists in Portugal.

The most remarkable buildings of Viana do Castelo are from the era of King Afonso III who founded the town in 1253.

Viana’s traditional folklore is one of the best of Portugal.
