Welcome to BRAGA. A Charming City in Northern Portugal.
Happy Holidays from Braga, Portugal! We are visiting this beautiful city located in the north of Portugal. Braga has plenty to offer, amazing views, incredible food, history, and more. Join us, and let’s explore this city.
Braga is a city in the Cávado Valley of Northern Portugal. It is the fifth largest city in Portugal after Lisbon, Porto, Amadora and Vila Nova de Gaia. It is an ancient and modern city and one of the most important Archdiocese.
Braga has a university is called the Universidade do Minho, and it is around 30 years old. It has a medium size campus area with lots of bars and cheap restaurants around it.

Portugal’s third-largest city is an elegant town laced with ancient narrow lanes closed to vehicles, strewn with plazas and a splendid array of baroque churches. Braga is a lively city, one of the oldest in the country, and is teeming with young people who study at its universities. The constant chiming of bells is a reminder of Braga’s age-old devotion to the spiritual world. Its religious festivals – particularly the elaborately staged Semana Santa (Holy Week) – are famous throughout Portugal. But don’t come expecting piety alone: Braga’s upscale old centre is packed with lively cafes and trim boutiques, some excellent restaurants and low-key bars catering to students from the Universidade do Minho. In fact, it's such a young city that in 2012 it was pronounced the European Youth Capital.
It’s known for its religious heritage and events. To the east, Bom Jesus do Monte complex has a neoclassical church atop an elaborate 17-flight stairway. In the city center, medieval Braga Cathedral is home to a sacred art museum and the Gothic-style Kings' Chapel. Nearby, the imposing Archbishop’s Palace overlooks Santa Barbara Garden.
Places featured:
The Igreja de Bom Jesus (Church of the Good Jesus):
This church is one of the most remarkable examples of 18th (and early 19th) Century religious architecture anywhere-- if it weren't in little-visited northern Portugal, it would be far more famous. The church at the top of the mountain outside the city of Braga, completed in 1822 by Portuguese architect Carlos Amarante, replacing an earlier (15th Century) shrine at the same site. The fascination of Bom Jesus lies not in the church, but rather in the Escadaria (stairway) leading up the mountain-side. The Escadaria was originally devised by the Archbishop of Braga in 1722 to allow pilgrims to reach the earlier shrine; in its completed form (also by Almarante), it is one of the best examples of Baroque religious architecture in Iberia.
Santa Barbara Garden:
The Santa Barbara Garden is a must-see attraction for any visitor to Portugal’s historic city of Braga. Located within easy reach of the main square, the cathedral, and other Braga attractions, one can easily find it next to the former palace of the Archbishop. Built in a fortress-like style, the palace began being erected in the 14th century, undergoing several extensions and renovations subsequently, most notably in the 17th century.
The Cathedral of Braga:
The Cathedral of Braga is one of the city’s cultural highlights and a must-visit destination on your trip to Braga, Portugal. The Cathedral of Braga dates back to the 11th Century and it is now the oldest-surviving church in Portugal, fully befitting of the country’s third-largest and oldest city. The cathedral was commissioned by Count Henry of Burgundy and was built on the site of an old Romanesque building, a former Moorish mosque.

Braga is a city of huge beauty and heritage richness, which combines tradition with innovation, the memory to the youth, creativity to conservatism.
With over 2000 years of a very rich history, possesses one of the oldest Sacro-Montes in Europe and is the representative of the Minho region, the Bom Jesus. In Braga, we can find the oldest Portuguese Cathedral and the Motherhouse of the Benedictines, the Monastery of Tibães (Mosteiro de Tibães).
Bom Jesus:
Sameiro:
Braga presents places that by their intrinsic devotion and beauty, impose themselves as mandatory benchmarks to visit. The Sanctuary of Sameiro (Santuário do Sameiro), the Bom Jesus and the Falperra, settling on an appealing religious basis, are surrounded by ravishing green spaces and paradise landscapes.
The Roman legacy is another of the attractive factors of Braga, often called ‘Portuguese Rome’, due to its origin in the Roman city of Bracara Augusta. Known by its distinct churches, splendid XVIII century houses, gardens, nature parks and recreational areas. Braga’s long history is visible in the splendor of its monuments, museums and churches.
Visiting Braga is like taking a time travel inside modernity. Old city and of traditional religiousness – always imposing on its richness and majesty – lives hand in hand with the entrepreneurship and young spirit in vital areas such as culture, commerce, gastronomy, industry and services.
Enjoy Braga! From here go and discover Gerês, the North of Portugal and Galicia, but come back… come back because here you are near to everything.
In Braga, feel good, in this so welcoming place, near, different and complete!

Guimaraes and Braga | A Day Trip From Porto, Portugal
We had a great day exploring Guimaraes and Braga during our stay in Porto, Portugal. We tried to fit as much as we could into our day. Doing both Guimaraes and Braga in the same day is doable but it was verging on a bit too much. Keep that in mind if you are planning on doing both by public transport. If you have a car and drive, it would definitely be doable.
See the blog for our article on our day trip to Guimaraes and Braga from Porto, it has all the details of how we got from a to b, what we saw and food recommendations.

5 Awesome Places You Have To Visit When In PORTO, Portugal!
World's most beautiful McDonalds? The narrowest house in the world? A beautiful peacock park? Panoramic views across the city? Traditional Fado music and interactive Porto wine tour? Check out these 5 wonders of Porto!
Introduction:
Hey everybody and welcome back to another episode of Triple P with me Surya Sridhar. So guys I am in one of the most beautiful destinations in all of Portugal. It was voted as the best European destination in 2014 as well as 2017. It is none other than Porto! And the best part of this trip is that I’m visiting my dad here for one week, so let’s hand it over to him.
Hey guys! I got a new job: acting on Triple P, for 1 Euro an hour. It’s fun! Let’s explore Porto together. Wonderful!
Number 1: Ribeira, Gaia, & Dom Luis Bridge
Jump onto the yellow line and get off the stop Jardim do Morro to get a full panoramic view across the city from the Dom Luis Bridge. You’ll be stunned by the beautiful city before your eyes! There are so many things to see and do. Everything from the bridge jumpers, to going on boat cruises, enjoying the music and dance performances, grabbing an aperitif or yummy snacks like churros, or maybe even buying some gifts from the line of market stalls. You’ll not run out of things to do! Lastly, don’t forget to enjoy the cable car ride down to the Gaia side to explore the best wine tour companies. It is 6 Euros one way and 9 Euros both ways!
Number 2: Calem Porto Wine Tour
On the Gaia side, you will notice a line of famous Porto wine companies including Graham’s, Ferreira, Sandeman and many more. I decided to check out Calem’s wine tour which included a guided tour to the Cálem Cellar which was super interactive and very informational. It was then followed by a tasting of two Port Wines: White and Special Reserve, which could be enjoyed during a special Fado concert, with a male and female voice, accompanied by the traditional Portuguese Guitar as well as the Classical one.
Number 3: World’s Most Beautiful McDonalds
This McDonalds restaurant was inaugurated in 1995 and was previously the Imperial Café, an emblematic historic building from the 30s by the Aliados Avenue. It is not your conventional McD especially due to its luxurious look, as well as the fact that in the McCafe you get a genuine Portuguese coffee with a custard tart called Pasteis de Nata. Very surprising indeed!
Number 4: Crystal Palace Garden
More than 150 years old, this place is loved by both tourists and locals. It is a lush place, home to many plant and animal species including the colourful peacock. If you make your way to the end, you’ll find a fun maze that also overlooks the beautiful Ribeira river. Take your time to explore this area, soak up the suns rays and when you’re tired, head on over to a nearby local coffee shop for a Portuguese Pingo and their famous cream filled pastry.
Number 5: Caramelite Church, Carmo Church & The Hidden House
Known as one of the most curious structures in Porto, these two churches that stand as two different religious buildings, but actually look like a single architectural structure. Separating them, is the world’s narrowest house, only one meter in width. It only costs a few Euros to explore and has 3 storeys in total. The interesting story behind this house is that it was formed specially to stop the communication between the nuns of the Caramelite Church and the monks at the Carmo Church. Very interesting indeed!
