Holiday Rentals in Mangualde - A Guide to Mangualde
When visiting Viseu district in northern Portugal, you could do worse than take a holiday rental in Mangualde, one of the municipalities near to Viseu city.
Mangualde occupies a ridge of high ground between the two valleys of the Dao and Mondego rivers and consequently offers some attractive scenery. One of the most popular sites to visit from a Mangualde holiday rental is the tiny Misericordia Church with its painted ceiling.
Viseu city itself is, of course worth a visit, and you can use your holiday rental in Mangualde as a base to explore the mountains to the east in Guarda district. This range, the Serra da Estrela, boasts the highest point on mainland Portugal. (There is a higher peak in the Azores).
