About Vizela
If you're looking for a slice of Portugal that's a little bit different, then Vizela in the region of Braga is well worth a visit. Nestled amongst rolling hills and verdant countryside, this pretty town is renowned for its thermal springs and healing waters. Although Vizela has been inhabited since Roman times, it only gained town status in 1258. These days it's a popular spot with tourists and locals alike, thanks to its picturesque setting and selection of things to see and do. Start your exploration of Vizela in the town centre, where you'll find the Praça da República. This lovely square is surrounded by colourful buildings and is home to the pretty 17th century fountain. From here, wander through the streets and take some time to explore the town's many churches. The Igreja Matriz is particularly worth a look, with its beautiful Baroque façade. If you're keen to find out more about the town's history, then head to the Museu Municipal. Here you can see a selection of Roman artefacts, as well as exhibits on the town's thermal springs. If you're visiting Vizela in summer, then make sure to take a dip in the municipal pool. This outdoor swimming complex is fed by the town's thermal springs and is a great way to cool off on a hot day. There's also a good selection of restaurants and cafes in Vizela, so you can refuel after a day of exploring. Be sure to try the local specialty, cozido à portuguesa, a hearty stew made with chicken, pork and vegetables. Whether you're looking to soak up some history or simply enjoy some rest and relaxation, Vizela is a great choice for a break in Portugal.
