Viana was super windy, and it was cold at the beach. There are also no restrooms at the beach; you have to ask at a cafe. If the weather was better would have been more fun. Be sure to visit the Santa Luzia church at the top of the hill, very pretty. We also liked the Citania up there.
A great little surprise away from the frantic Portugal cities. A leisurely pace with lots of sightseeing and dining options. Try Lavradriera Restaurnate for excellent meals! We highly recommend this place!
Interesting nice town. It is very easy to walk up and around to the places of interest. There are plenty of restaurants and cafe. A shopping mall locates next to the station. The pastel de nata i had there was the second best i had in portugal after pastel de belem. Unfortunately the main attraction of viana do castelo santa luzia was having a face lifting when i was there. So i didn't bother to take the cable car up hill.
The view from Sta Luzia is amazing, the interior simple but elegant, however there are many more interesting simple and baroque churches in town. Lovely food and not too pricey. A very relaxed atmosphere along the river and a little ways out you reach the ocean and some nice old fortress ruins and sea fed swimming pools. Great for sunsets. Great stop for a couple days. Charming.
Great place to realy but also to visit old interesting but not so crowded Portuguese cities . A walk along the ocean side or a bike tour it s a good option anytime, also the chocolate and the traditional costumes museum. Ask in your hotel about wine tastings and try in the small restaurants the traditional disches. Maybe take a taxi an go to the restaurant Camelho (it s a bit outside the town but great). Also try the local cakes. There is also a castle very interesting from otuside, in November we had no possibility to go inside.
I used this as a stopping point between Salamanca and Vigo in Spain. It is a small town that is a short drive from some nice (and very cold water!) beaches. View from Santa Lucia is beautiful. Ate lunch at Leve (I think it's the name) and it was SOOOO GOOD! Def recommend a car for day trips.
“Loved every thing about Dona Emilia. Nuno and Rute were the perfect hosts, making us feel so very welcome. We did not want to leave.”
“I liked the privacy provided by the individual entrances and parking provided for each room. The staff is very nice and welcoming. The location is perfect for me, but may be a problem for someone who is looking to stay in Viana do Castelo as my main purpose of stay was not to visit Viana but the small villages to the south of Viana. Still it's a quiet place with quick access to Viana through the old Eiffel bridge.”
“My wife and I are walking the Camino from Colorado USA and stayed here two nights to treat ourselves. We were not disappointed! The hotel and staff were so kind to us in every regard. We even got a coupon to try out the Italian Resturant in the hotel including live Fado...it was really great! We felt like family, even when venturing out the following evening were warned to wear jackets. Thanks to the staff!!”
“Great value hotel. Fantastic location for exploring the town. Very comfortable beds and helpfull, friendly reception staff.”
“We found this hotel to be very nice and just a little bit quirky (which we liked). We arrived in the middle of a fair day and things were crazy on the street, but that lasted only a few hours. The hotel is quite pleasant and well placed in lots of small streets to walk in. The proprietor Carmelina (?) and also Jennifer ere very helpful and charming. We easily drove to the beach which is a good one. Breakfast great.”
