Great place to conclude the Letap de Tour cycling event. From this vantage point one has a wonderful view of the countryside . Pro tip: there's an elevator to get to the viewpoint at the top of the sanctuary for those who can't manage the 180+ narrow and steep stairs to see why National Geographic calls this one of the most beautiful views in the world

Breathtaking. A must visit. One of the more beautiful overlooks I have seen. Located on a hilltop in the northern city of Viana do Castelo, overlooking the Lima river valley and the Atlantic coast. You can reach the sanctuary by car, by funicular (fun for the kids) or by climbing the steps from the city if you want a workout.

A very pleasant church to visit, one of the most attractive spots in the city of Viana do Castelo. The church is beautiful and it is possible to climb (paying) to the top. There is a cable car that takes people near the church, some souvenir shops, a picnic park, an amphitheater and an excellent viewpoint. Along with the Gil Eanes Hospital Ship and the costume museum, it is the most important place to visit in the city.

We were almost put off visiting this site as the cable car was closed. The climb was worth it though...beautiful views & even a wedding taking place. The cafe up there was.also very good and much needed refueling after that climb...

An amazing view of the town and a lovely Basilica. The drive up is via a winding road and at the top there is parking. If you don’t have a car there is a Funicular from the town to the basilica. Reasonable priced. We parked at the top of the hill and went down to walk around the town - it worked out very well.
