Minho, Portugal's greenest and most traditional north, stretches from the Atlantic to the Spanish border and enchants with lush river valleys, granite villages, and a culture deeply rooted in history and folklore. The region between the Minho and Douro rivers is the cradle of the Portuguese nation — the Kingdom of Portugal was founded in Guimarães in 1143.

Braga, the religious capital of the country, impresses with the monumental sanctuary Bom Jesus do Monte and over 30 Baroque churches. Guimarães captivates with its perfectly preserved medieval old town (UNESCO World Heritage) and the Paço dos Duques de Bragança. Viana do Castelo on the coast combines Art Nouveau architecture with the Santuário de Santa Luzia, which offers a panoramic view over the Atlantic.

Minho is home to Vinho Verde — a sparkling, slightly effervescent wine that tastes best in the quintas among the vines. The Festas and Romarias (folk festivals) of Minho are among the most colorful in Portugal, especially the Festa de São João in Braga. Portugal's only national park, Peneda-Gerês, is located in the eastern part of the region and offers granite wilderness, waterfalls, and free-roaming Garrano wild horses. The coast from Viana to Caminha surprises with wind-swept beaches and the charming border town of Valença with its fortress overlooking the Rio Minho.
