Hotel Minho - How to get to Hotel Minho?

Travelling by Car

The North of Portugal has got good and quick accesses and several connections to large urban centers.

South of Portugal

The best way is A1 which connects Lisbon to Porto (313km), but there is another West alternative with less traffic in some areas and a different landscape, starting in Lisbon with A8 and A17 (321km).

From Porto to Vila Nova de Cerveira

A quick journey of about 1 hour and 15 minutes depending on the route you choose. If you choose A28 (105km), the cost of tolls will be reduced but it is likely to encounter some traffic because it is a route very close to the seafront. However, you will enjoy the magnificent landscapes. After crossing the bridge near the city of Viana do Castelo, follow the sign A28 Caminha, and at the end of A28 enter the N13. Continue on N13 passing by Vila Nova de Cerveira and keep towards Valença, and 7km out of A28 you will find Hotel Minho on the left side of N13.

If you choose A3 (124 km), you will also find some traffic in the first 30km, but then enjoy the lush landscape which features Minho, passing by Braga and the oldest town of Portugal, Ponte de Lima. In the course of A3 we recommend the trip to the end of A3, last toll in Valença do Minho, and you must leave at the second exit indicating Vila Nova de Cerveira through N13 and traveling about 4 km you will find Hotel Minho on your right.

Another option is to leave A3 where there is a sign indicating Vila Nova de Cerveira / Paredes de Coura, and get down the mountain through the dense and magnificent vegetation in a constant winding asphalt.

North Spain

From Galicia, AP-9 is the fastest access in a total of 201km, going through Santiago de Compostela and marveling at the Rias Baixas. After entering Portugal head towards Porto A3 and after crossing the international bridge you will find the exit to Vila Nove de Cerveira, Caminha, Viana do Castelo. From here to the hotel and traveling about 4 km you will find the Hotel Minho on your right.
