Penafiel is a city with 242 years of history, but there’s nothing “old” about it! It is a young city, full of dynamism!
We recommend a stroll through the historic center, with a mandatory stop at Rua do Paço, Rua Alfredo Pereira and Largo da Ajuda. Sit on the terrace and enjoy the balconies of wrought iron, worthy of a photographic shot. In Rua do Paço you will find the Municipal Museum, elected in 2010 as the Best Museum by the Portuguese Association of Museology. If you like romantic gardens and enjoy a wonderful wine, go to Quinta da Aveleda – an unforgettable visit!
Monte Mozinho is a reference in the history of archeology of settlements. It is located a few kilometers from Solar Egas Moniz and represents a Pre-Roman village from the Roman era dating back to the first century AD, a village in the late Iron Age, with about 22 acres. Ideal for a family visit, on foot or bike ... Bring a picnic basket and enjoy the calm and warm summer afternoons.
