What to see in Chaves
Must-sees
Chaves, the Roman Aquae Flaviae, has kept a sixteen-arch Roman bridge over the Tâmega, which you can still walk across, and a museum about the Roman baths discovered in the town.
In the centre, the highlights are the castle keep, Camões square with the town hall and the streets of houses with wooden balconies. Its hot springs feed the town's spa, and the pastel de Chaves pastry and the cured ham are the local specialities.
Free tours and guided visits
There is no free walking tour in Chaves. There is a guided walk of the town lasting an hour and a half, a full tour with tickets and a private tour.
There are also trips: by 4x4 through the area, the water route through Vidago and Verín, and a day in Trás-os-Montes with Montalegre and Boticas.
