Lamego, Portugal Cruise Port

Lamego serves both as a municipality and a city in the Viseu District that is located in the Norte Region, Northern Portugal. The city is situated on the shores of the region's Balsemao River. The city is believed to have a very rich history with some origins tracing back to years before the Iberian Peninsula was occupied by the Romans. Further evidence of the region's rich history can be found in Lamego's historic city center where the Roman Catholic Diocese of Lamego is based. In 1143, it is widely believed that the very first gathering of Portuguese representatives, known as the Portuguese Cortes, was conducted in the city of Lamego. Featured below are some of the recommended experiences, attractions, and activities that visitors could enjoy after cruising to Lamego, Portugal:
