Best Places to Visit in Amarante

Nestled in the northern part of Portugal, the charming town of Amarante is a hidden gem waiting to be discovered. With its picturesque landscapes, rich history, and vibrant culture, Amarante offers a plethora of sights that cater to the tastes of every traveler. And for those looking to explore the best of what this quaint town has to offer, Happytripz is your go-to guide for unforgettable excursions.

São Gonçalo Church and Convent

One of the most iconic landmarks in Amarante is the São Gonçalo Church and Convent. This stunning religious complex dates back to the 16th century and is a testament to the town's deep-rooted religious heritage. Visitors can marvel at the intricate architecture and the beautiful azulejos (traditional Portuguese tiles) that adorn the walls. A fascinating fact about azulejos is that they are not only decorative but also serve to control the temperature inside buildings.

Ponte de São Gonçalo

Another must-see attraction is the Ponte de São Gonçalo, a bridge that spans the serene Tâmega River. This bridge is not only a vital part of the town's infrastructure but also a historical monument, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding area. Take a leisurely stroll across and soak in the tranquil atmosphere of Amarante. For a glimpse of this beautiful bridge, check out its location on Google Maps.

Amadeo de Souza-Cardoso Museum

Art enthusiasts will find a treasure trove at the Amadeo de Souza-Cardoso Museum. Dedicated to the local painter Amadeo de Souza-Cardoso, whose groundbreaking work left an indelible mark on Portuguese modern art, the museum showcases a collection of his paintings along with other contemporary pieces.

Scenic Tâmega River

For those who love the great outdoors, the Tâmega River offers a range of activities. From canoeing to leisurely boat tours, Happytripz can arrange an excursion that allows you to experience the natural beauty of Amarante from a different perspective. The river's banks are also perfect for picnics or simply enjoying a quiet moment in nature.

No visit to Amarante would be complete without indulging in the local cuisine. The town is famous for its sweet treats, such as the mouth-watering papos de anjo (angel's chests) and toucinho do céu (bacon from heaven). Be sure to stop by one of the traditional bakeries and savor these delectable pastries. Amarante is a town that truly has it all – from historical sites to natural wonders, and with the expertise of Happytripz, your journey through this Portuguese haven will be as seamless as it is memorable.
