Check-in from 9:00 to 18:00 and check-out from 9:00 to 15:00. Prices according to the Guimarães municipal table for each year.
Camping above the city
The Penha campsite is on the mountain that overlooks Guimarães, among woodland and large granite rocks, and is run by Turipenha, the same cooperative that runs the cable car. It is open all year. There are pitches for tents under the trees, a shaded motorhome area, a bar, a playground and a pool that opens from 15 May to 15 September.
How it works
Check-in is from 9:00 to 18:00 and check-out from 9:00 to 15:00; the stay is paid before 15:00 on the day of departure, and on long stays, every five days. Prices are those in the Guimarães Town Council's table of fees for each year. Book by email ([email protected]) or by phone.
Getting there
In a motorhome, Turipenha recommends going up the N101 towards Mesão Frio, a quieter climb. To go down to the centre without a car, the cable car links the summit with the city.
