You can see the process of reconstruction in a little museum inside. We have watched there some midle age dancing and it was really interesting. Fine museum and chappel with wonderful vitrals

If you are in Guimarães, this attraction is a must to visit. I was impressed by its huge rooms, nicely although modestly decorated. It is maintained in a very good condition. So, it's definitely worth visiting. The approximate length of a tour (without guide) is about half an hour; entrance fee is 7 or 9 euros.

This was a fun place to visit. After we walked through the house we went to the ruins on the ground and my children had a wonderful time climbing to the very top to see the city. It was a very beautiful and brave view.

A must from Guimares to visit, not only a Palace but also a part of it is a museum with medieval patrimony.

I was really looking forward to visiting this palace, several parts of Portuguese history combined! A 15th century palace built in order of the second marriage of Afonso and of course he wanted to display his power and wealth. Too bad that after about a century dwellers started to abandon the place. By the 20th century it was in ruins.... More

Surprisingly interesting and nicely laid out. It was well worht the entrance fee. Different from the average European palace.

This Palace sits next to the Castelo and is very well preserved. There is a large parking lot at the Castle, so you can park there and walk to most things in Guimaraes, this included. The palace does an excellent job of showing you what life there would have been like.

It is an building rich in history that is well maintained. The similarity of other "Paços" in Portugal. It has three floors, the 3th being reserved as the official residence of the President of the Republic, but not be visited. They permit take no flash photos inside.

It's woderfull to live in a country where you can walk in palaces and castles everywhere! Some of the rooms are so well preserved that you can easily imagin what it was to live there.
