The city of Viseu is situated on a plateau that is nestled in the Beira Alta Hills. It not only has the distinction of being the regional capital but also retains its medieval feel, which further adds to its charm. It is a bustling, provincial city, featuring endless artistic treasures and a powerful culture that reflects the local crafts and historical churches.
Viseu is surrounded by fertile agricultural land, along with rich pastures, full of sheep. It is also famous for its fine varieties of cheese and is the hub for producing the renowned Dão wines. The city has plenty of attractions for tourists. The Grão Vasco Museum, for instance, gives you an opportunity of a lifetime to explore and revere the work of Vasco Fernandes, a famous artist of the 15th century. The cathedral is located at the city’s highest point and is a dominant structure with its twin towers. The church has undergone several refurbishments and is one of the most prominent buildings, with two stories and a highly sacred art museum.
