Workation in Guimarães: the essentials
A sign on the old town wall still announces that Portugal was born here, a reference to Afonso Henriques, its first king. The medieval centre has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2001, overlooked by the castle and the Palace of the Dukes of Braganza. Guimarães is no museum, though: it is the hub of the industrial Ave valley, with textile firms, a University of Minho campus and a municipality of about 157,000. It was European Capital of Culture in 2012 and won the European Green Capital award for 2026. There is no coast and winters are wet. Regional trains run to Porto, and Porto Airport is about 40 km away.
