Location information for Viseu
Introduction
The Portuguese city of Viseu has an attractive historical center and is situated in one of the country's nicest wine regions. The city's prosperity, both now and in the old days, can be gathered from the richness of the old buildings, but also from the city's modern architecture. The showpiece is the Romanesque and Gothic cathedral (Sé) in the old center.
Population
The city has approximately 50,000 inhabitants.
Location
Viseu is centrally located in Portugal about 50 kilometers from the Atlantic coast. The city lies in the so-called Beira Alta, between two mountain ranges, the Serra da Estrela and the Serra do Caramulo. From these mountains many rivers and streams flow through the area. This is the famous Dão wine region.
Economy
Viseu is the capital of the Dão wine region and wine-trade and research of vinicultural methods therefore form an important part of local economy. Both the Dão Wine Institute and the Solar do Vinho do Dão are based in the city. The city is also known for its black pottery and copper and iron appliances. The conglomerate Visabeira (with interests in telecommunications, construction, real estate, tourism and other services) is headquartered in Viseu. There are also many institutes for higher education.
Airports
The nearest international airport is Porto Airport. It's situated 140 car kilometers northwest of the city, at about an hour and a half-drive from Viseu. It's easily reachable by rental car via the A25 and then the A1.
Public Transport
Viseu has good public city transport, exploited by bus company STUV. Buses run frequently and the material is modern. A funicular connects the square Adro da Sé in the old city with the Forum in the new city. There are also bus connections with several other Portuguese cities, including Porto and Lisbon. Visue has no train station.
Traffic and Parking
It's easy to find your way around Viseu by rental car. Via the inner ring (Estr. da Circumvaiaçao) you can easily drive from one part of the city to another.

Viseu lies near freeway A25 which runs from the Portuguese port city of Aveiro to Salamanca in Spain. Southwest of town this freeway crosses the A24/IP3, an important north-south connection. When driving by rental car from Viseu to Nelas you'll pass many vineyards.
