Only thing we think could improve is the massage services can always be better, and have more diverse offerings with varied therapist that are more confident. The other thing was that the room service was always great but even tho there was moments we didn’t want anybody in the room they still came in to clean up… Overall it was amazing!!!"

While summer (July and August) is popular due to school holidays, it can be quite hot and busy, particularly in the main squares and at popular sites like Guimarães Castle.
Where can I find the best nightlife in Guimarães?
Guimarães offers a pleasant range of nightlife options, primarily centred around its historic core. You'll find that evenings here are more about relaxed socialising than high-energy clubs.

The main area for evening entertainment is Largo da Oliveira and the surrounding streets. This square is lined with bars and esplanades where you can sit out, enjoy a drink, and chat. Many of these establishments are housed in historic buildings, offering a good setting for an evening out. You'll find a mix of traditional Portuguese taverns, sometimes with fado music, and more modern bars serving cocktails and local wines.

Just a short walk from Largo da Oliveira, the streets leading off to the south, such as Rua de Santa Maria, also have several bars and cafes that stay open into the late evening. These tend to be smaller, more intimate venues, often popular with locals.

For those looking for a slightly different experience, the area around the University of Minho campus, though a little further out from the historic centre, has some student-focused bars.
