TIP Go to the museum before visiting castle!!!
Ticket for students cost only 1 €, the museum lies on hill very close to we'll visible church.
They have break for lunch, probably from 12pm and reopen around 2pm as I remember!
The whole museum is well exposed, you can ask for audio guide, both in English or Portuguese and it helps a lot, I truly recommend! Firstly you can see history from centuries BCE, Visigoths, Roman Empire influence, stone tool, craved stone monument's and other interesting art.
Then there is nice amount of items from close castle Santa Maria da Feira, which probably will be the reason why most of the people visit the city, so notice that going to museum will explain you a lot about the castle itself!
They explain many things about architecture of castle with informations about which parts were built for which reason and by which king! You can also find well described informations of Fogaça bread history, the city manufactures workshops from later periods (middle age and newer times up to today) with presentation of tools and explanation on importance about it to the city and people living there.
In the last part there is story behind the building in which museum was located which was court after they changed it from convent building, with exposition of modern, but nice...
