What to see in Viseu
Six places for when you are short on time, and a few more for when you are not.
Where to start?
Four shortcuts, depending on the hours you have and the weather.
I have the whole day
The Grão Vasco museum in the morning, closed on Mondays, and the Cava de Viriato at the end of the day.
It is raining
A good time for the museums. On Sundays you can count on the Grão Vasco; on Mondays almost all of them close.
I want to be outdoors
Parks, gardens and viewpoints a few minutes from the centre.
