    Francisco has introduced us to Castelo Branco not only through the history and culture of the town, but also through its cruelty. A pleasure.

Castelo Branco is a charming city in central Portugal, where old-world atmosphere blends with modern comfort. Known for its traditional embroidery, tranquil gardens, and friendly locals, this destination is perfect for those seeking a genuine Portuguese experience away from crowded tourist spots.

A look back in time

The city’s roots go back to the 12th century, when its castle was built to protect the region. Over the centuries, it transformed from a medieval fortress into a vibrant urban center. Its old quarter is filled with cobbled streets, grandmanors, and reminders of ancient traditions.

Best time to visit

Castelo Branco enjoys a Mediterranean climate. Spring and early autumn offer mild weather and comfortable temperatures, making these seasons ideal for exploring city sights and nearby nature. Summers can get hot, but the city’s gardens and fountains provide a pleasant escape.

How long should I stay?

A one or two-day visit is usually enough to discover the main highlights, such as the castle ruins, Bishop’s Palace Garden, and local museums. If you want to explore rural villages or the Serra da Estrela mountains nearby, consider staying longer.
