Vila do Gerês
Vila do Gerês, Terras de Bouro
About this place
Among colonnades, shops and thermal water traditions, discover the village that gives your trip its name.
Gerês can also be discovered on foot in the village.
After the mountain bends, Vila do Gerês invites a different pace. Thermal waters are part of its identity, but you do not need to book a treatment to discover it. Between the main street, shops and colonnades, a walk reveals how this place became a meeting point for mountain visitors.
Start at Colunatas Honório de Lima and continue through the streets, taking in the façades before choosing a café. Use the stop to sort out practical needs: water, a snack and lunch. Then head to the viewpoints or Campo do Gerês. The village works best as a place to enjoy a break rather than a name passed through by car.
Three details to take with you
- 01
The colonnades
Look at the rhythm of the arches and this space's relationship with the street. It is a starting point for the village's cultural itinerary.
- 02
The thermal tradition
The thermal baths explain part of the village's tourism history. Strolling in the centre and enjoying a treatment are different experiences.
- 03
The street as a meeting place
Small purchases and a meal break give you time to discover the centre before returning to the mountain landscape.
