The Termas de S\u00e3o Pedro do Sul are the country&#8217;s leading thermal resort and among the largest in Iberia \u2014 a place where medicine, history and the particular peacefulness of a thermal town come together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Two thousand years of hot water<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The spring was already exploited in the 1st century AD; the remains of the Roman bath, now a National Monument, still stand beside the pools. King Afonso Henriques is said to have come here in 1169 to recover from a broken leg and ordered the chapel of S\u00e3o Martinho built in thanks. King Manuel I founded a Royal Hospital on the site in the 16th century, and in 1894 Queen Am\u00e9lia took the waters \u2014 so successfully that the spa was renamed in her honour. The water rises at some 68 degrees, sulphureous and rich in trace elements, with recognised respiratory and rheumatic benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What to see<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The Roman bath remains, a National Monument<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The historic Balne\u00e1rio D. Afonso Henriques<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Balne\u00e1rio Rainha D. Am\u00e9lia, with its 19th-century air<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The chapel of S\u00e3o Martinho<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The wooded valley of the Vouga around the spa<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Practical information<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The spa sits in the parish of V\u00e1rzea, in the municipality of S\u00e3o Pedro do Sul, about 25 kilometres west of Viseu. It is open all year, with therapeutic programmes, physiotherapy and shorter wellness stays; treatments are best booked in advance in high season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Image credit: Termas de S\u00e3o Pedro do Sul by Joao Carvalho \u2014 CC BY-SA 3.0, via Wikimedia Commons.<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Portugal&#8217;s greatest spa, in a wooded valley of the Vouga, where hot sulphur water has been easing aches since Roman times.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":59209,"parent":12244,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1074],"tags":[1072],"attraction-categ":[1056],"localidade":[1425],"content-type":[],"grupo-de-experiencias":[],"experiencia-tipo":[],"gestao":[1102],"regioes_turisticas_term":[228],"class_list":["post-59237","to-visit","type-to-visit","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-city","tag-region-of-portugal","attraction-categ-city","localidade-sao-pedro-do-sul","gestao-56-publicado","regioes_turisticas_term-center"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.8 (Yoast SEO v28.7) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Termas de S\u00e3o Pedro do Sul \u2014 Central Portugal | Real Dreams<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"S\u00e3o Pedro do Sul, Portugal&#039;s oldest spa: Roman baths, Afonso Henriques&#039;
