Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

On a cool January morning we stopped in Lamego and had breakfast and walked to the top of the Santuario. There are many beautiful tile works along the way and there is a little park area where they have some geese that are taken care of. Once you get to the top, the view over the city is really nice.

You need cash €2.50 per adult to go to the tower, the church is free! You get the tickets behind the sanctuary at the store. Check photos for website and times it is open. They have restrooms by the store too. There is a cafe in the middle of the stairs to the left (with toilets) on the way up and another one at the top by the store. I always offer at least €5 on every free church and suggest you give what you can so that they can stay free and not charge €10 or more like some churches around the world. It is just so lovely. They asked no photos, but I saw it on the way out 😬.

This unique sanctuary is distinguished by its location, amazing stairs and details of the front facade. For me, the interior of the church was less interesting than what can be seen from the outside. Of course, the richly carved altar is a real work of art, but the church interior disappointed me a bit. The current church was built in the 18th century. There are almost 700 steps leading to it from the city side. These baroque stairs are an original attraction in themselves. Standing facing the church, we see two richly decorated church towers, but above all, Rococo decorations of the doors and windows. It is a real masterpiece. You can climb the towers and it is worth climbing [for an additional fee] because the panorama of the area from above is worth it. The church is located on a hill and surrounded by a well-kept park. All the details here are refined and admirable. It is not only a sanctuary but simply a beautiful place.

11 am on a Saturday in broad daylight.
random dude walks up to me,
asks for time,
grabs my ass,
runs a few feet away after I punch him
and exposes himself.
I’m writing this here because he’s obviously a local
and this can’t be a one time occurrence.
hopefully someone catches the guy

This is the must do in Lamego which is otherwise relatively unimpressive. This sanctuary on top of the hill is accessible by taxi and the internal decoration is wellworth seeing The way down is by 686 undemanding steps flanked for a good deal of the way by statues or again a taxi. The view from the terrace is a good photo opportunity.

We stopped at the sanctuary on our way to the Douro valley. If you are in the area this is a must stop visit.
Located on top of a hill with almost 700 steps to the bottom (you can drive up to the top like we did) with beautiful tile displays all the way down.
Surrounded by trees and beautiful views of the valley and mountains.

From the central avenue in Lamego where you have the “Chapel, the Theater and the museum starts an imposing baroque staircase with 686 steps up to the top of a hill that ends in a rocaille sanctuary, who got built in the mid-19th century for “Nossa Senhora dos Remédios”, which would only be completely finished in the year 1905. There are about eighteen statues representing kings and patriarchs of Judea, rising in the center of a monumental water bowl an obelisk 22 m high, decorated and supported by mythical Atlanteans. Finally, you reach the sanctuary, the epitome of the ensemble, dedicated to the patron saint.
The tomb of the founder, Canon José Teixeira Pinto, who died in 1784, is located at the entrance to the nave of the temple.
Only for your information,when you would like to go by the staircase, remember that you have 686 steps in front to conquer.

It is all about the journey! From town, there are over 600 stairs with 9 flat landing areas replete with beautiful landscaping, tiles, statues and a fountain, and elegant railings. The view from the town square of stairs ascending to the church forms a dream scape. As you climb, the wonders unfold. Are last you achieve the white and carved facade of the church and you feel a transcendence from the ordinary. You must walk the stairs!

An amazing religious site on one of the traditional ways to Santiago da Compostela. About 650 steps climb from the central town plaza to the 18th century church. Lots of shrines and statuary to look at on the way up, and amazing hand-painted scenes on massive tiled murals. Spectacular views.

We did not see anything else like this in Portugal. The terraced garden areas surpass the church itself. It was interesting to listen to the broadcast Mass though not our faith nor our language, but it added to the atmosphere.

Bom dia! Saberia me informar se fecha algum dia da semana e o horário de funcionamento?
Obrigada, Ludmila
Written 18 October 2019
Olá! Acredito que abre todos os dias, pois fomos em uma segunda-feira e estava aberta, mas não sei informar os horários. De qualquer forma, a impressionante escadaria e a vista externa compensam o passeio, se estiver na região do Vale do Douro.

Da dove inizia la scalinata per il santuario? Al centro del paese?
Written 10 May 2017
Siccome il paese è estremamente piccolo posso dire che in buona sostanza inizia dal centro del paese. Vicino all'inizio della scalinata c'è un enorme parcheggio in cui lasciare la macchina quindi molto comodo.

Does anyone know the opening and closing hours for this cathedral?
Written 19 March 2017
I do not know. When I went to there, I could not to get in because there was a service, not let other people in. Therefore, you also need to find out the hours of service if you would like to make sure that you can get to inside.

We were recently at this small shrine in Lamego, Portugal. We started at the top and our guide pointed out a tree which was fenced in at the top. The tree had a thick trunk. I am doing a scrapbook on the trip and would like to know what the story behind this unusual looking tree is (our guide told us, but I forgot). Can you help?

Tem como subir até o santuário sem ser pelas escadas?
Written 21 September 2016
Sim.... Pode ir de carro.... Pode ir de tuc tuc ou ainda de comboio turístico... Se não o subir, pelo menos desça-o e aproveite para fazer uma incursão pela mata dos remédios....
