Like most medieval Portuguese cities, the historic center of Viseu is a labyrinth of alleys, many of them lined with old noble houses, which lead to the highest point of the city, Praça da Sé. The original 13th-century cathedral combines various architectural styles as additions were made over the centuries. Next to the Cathedral is the Grão Vasco Museum, named after the 15th-century Portuguese artist who also gave his name to one of the best-known wines in the region. The museum houses many of his works, including the famous 14 paintings from the life of Christ that once graced the walls of the Cathedral.
Gastronomy and the art of good eating and drinking are very important in Viseu. There are many restaurants and the delicacies they offer are very varied and appeal to all tastes. The specialty is kid and roast lamb, but the region is known for its excellent hams and sausages, many of which are essential ingredients in many of the tasty stews and casseroles. As the center of the Dão wine demarcated region, Viseu is proud of its wines and there are established routes for those who want to visit the main producers in the region. Alternatively, for those who prefer white drinks, Viseu has an ice bar, the Minus 5º Lounge Bar, where everything, from the benches, to the walls, to the sculptures and the glasses, is made with ice coming from the Canadian glaciers. The bar is part of the huge Palácio do Gelo shopping center which includes shops, spas, swimming pools and a 600m² skating rink.
Local crafts include hand-embroidered lace and wicker baskets. The city comes alive on Tuesdays with the weekly market. The movement intensifies in September with the famous Mateus Fair, which lasts a whole month.
Enjoy the food, architecture, history and beautiful landscapes in Viseu... accompanied by a full-bodied glass of red Dão.
