Fodor's Expert Review Hotel de Guimarães

Conveniently located steps from the train station (and a 10-minute walk from the center), this streamlined hotel lets you revive yourself with a bracing dip in the indoor pool, a soak in the hot tub, or some time in the separate men's and women's saunas and steam baths. Afterward head to the bar and restaurant, which have panoramic views—as do a good number of the guest rooms.
