Braga, Portugal skyline: the 36 most iconic buildings and best views in Braga

The Braga Cathedral is not just the oldest in Portugal — it’s the spiritual and cultural anchor of a city deeply rooted in history. Located at the gateway to the historic center, the cathedral’s Romanesque façade, adorned with Gothic and Baroque flourishes, immediately sets a tone of grandeur. During our visit, which coincided with Semana Santa (Holy Week), the experience gained an almost cinematic quality. The air was filled with the sound of processions, traditional chants, and the solemn echo of footsteps over ancient stones. Braga lives and breathes its Catholic traditions, and nowhere is this more visible than around the cathedral during such times. The interior reveals layers of devotion across centuries: richly adorned chapels, striking altars, and quiet spaces for reflection. Yet many visitors bypass one of the cathedral’s most precious treasures — the Cathedral Treasure Museum, which houses artifacts of enormous historical weight, including the cross used in the first Mass in Brazil. These pieces are displayed with reverence and are worth the detour. In the rear of the cathedral, the tombs of Henry of Burgundy and Teresa of León, the parents of Portugal’s first king, offer a moment of silence and historical grounding. This place is more than a monument; it’s a living archive of Portuguese identity. While the structure and ambiance are majestic, the lack of clear interpretative material can limit the experience for those unfamiliar with the site’s depth. A guided tour or audio guide is strongly recommended to fully appreciate what this space represents. Braga Cathedral is a must-see — not only for its architectural and religious significance but also for its role as a stage for the city’s most cherished traditions. Witnessing the Holy Week ceremonies here adds a layer of enchantment that transcends the physical space. It’s in those processions, candlelit nights, and local devotion that the true soul of Braga is revealed.

Impressive in terms of history, antiquity and exterior architecture. The entrance well guarded by a somewhat aggressive parishioner, who did not allow us to take a look inside at six in the evening, when we arrived from Porto, because the religious service for the locals was about to begin. On our next visit to Portugal, I hope we will have better luck with the parishioner and see the interior as well.

The Catedral da Sé de Braga is one of the most beautiful Catholic complexes in all of Portugal. The main altar is a stunning masterpiece of art, and the museum is equally impressive, filled with gorgeous rooms and sacred artworks. Our guide shared the fascinating story of Saint Frutuoso while showing us the church, which made the visit even more meaningful. I highly recommend visiting this incredible place!

This cathedral is very interesting, especially if you are fond if Baroque architecture. There is also one very interesting gothic chapel. When we arrived it was closed for lunch (12-14.30 I believe). We paid for the 4 euro ticket which allowed access to all but the museum. Visit took about 45 minutes including 10-15 minute wait for the guided tour. Friendly and knowledgeable guides.

The most amazing organ you will probably ever find in a Cathedral. Old, classic and well maintained. A must see, you won't be disappointed. Washrooms and lockers are also available. Tickets were very reasonable.

The Braga Cathedral, Santa Maria, is one of Portugal’s most important religious landmarks. Its mix of Romanesque, Gothic, and Baroque styles makes every corner fascinating. Inside, the ornate chapels, sacred art, and peaceful atmosphere create a moving experience — a true spiritual heart of Braga.

This is the oldest national cathedral in Portugal, predating the foundation of the country itself. Construction began around 1070, and the cathedral was consecrated in 1089. Over the centuries, it has absorbed a variety of architectural styles — from Romanesque to Gothic, Manueline, and Baroque — reflecting the artistic transitions of each period. Notable features include the tombs of Count Henry and Teresa of León, the Baroque high choir and organ, the Manueline main chapel, the cloisters, and several richly decorated Baroque chapels such as the Chapel of the Kings, the Chapel of Glory, and the Chapel of São Geraldo. As the seat of the Archdiocese of Braga, it has long served as the religious center of northern Portugal and is considered one of the foundational Christian landmarks of the Iberian Peninsula.

The Jardim de Santa Bárbara is one of those places that feels like a secret garden hiding in plain sight — and it’s nothing short of enchanting. Nestled right in the heart of Braga’s historic center, behind the medieval walls of the former Archbishop’s Palace, this public garden offers an explosion of color, history, and tranquility that surprises even seasoned travelers. We visited during spring, and the timing could not have been more perfect. The air was fresh, the sky a shifting canvas of clouds and light, and the flower beds were in full, glorious bloom. Tulips, marigolds, begonias, salvias, geraniums, and other seasonal species form a mosaic of colors with almost painterly precision. The neatly trimmed hedges, topiaries, and manicured walkways add a rhythm to the space — a perfect counterpoint to the wild beauty of the flowers. The medieval ruins of the palace’s arcade provide a stone backdrop that is both dramatic and serene, as if Braga’s past is watching over the present. This is an extremely photogenic location, ideal for casual snapshots or professional photography alike. Every corner seems carefully designed to frame a perfect image — with arches, towers, floral bursts, and symmetrical paths. You’ll find locals sitting on benches, reading, chatting, or simply enjoying the sun. It’s one of those rare places where you feel time slow down. One of the hidden treasures of this space is its subtle blending of garden art with archaeology — those arches and stones are not just decorative, they are fragments of Braga’s ecclesiastical history. That juxtaposition of blooming life and ancient stone gives the garden a sense of continuity that is deeply poetic. Best of all: it’s free to enter. This is not a gated, curated tourist attraction, but a gift to the city — and to its visitors. If you’re exploring Braga, don’t rush past it. Sit for a while, breathe it in, let your senses do the rest. The Jardim de Santa Bárbara is not just a garden; it’s an open-air masterpiece of color, heritage, and calm — a rare gem that feels like a privilege to stumble upon.

Santa Barbara Garden is a peaceful and well-maintained green space. It's a nice spot to take a walk, relax, or enjoy some quiet time surrounded by flowers and trees. While it’s not particularly large or full of major attractions, it offers a pleasant escape from the city’s hustle. Ideal for a short visit or a casual stroll.

A truly charming spot in the heart of Braga! The Santa Barbara Garden is beautifully maintained, full of colorful flowers, manicured hedges, and a stunning view of the old Archbishop’s Palace. It’s a peaceful place to relax, take photos, or simply enjoy the atmosphere. The combination of flowers, fountains, and historic architecture makes it one of the most picturesque places in the city. It’s especially lovely in spring and summer when everything is in full bloom. Highly recommend stopping by — whether you’re exploring Braga for a few hours or staying longer, this garden is definitely worth a visit!

This is a beautiful garden with flower present all over it. It is well maintained and decorated, and people can roam freely here and enjoy the nature. There is a old fort wall present just next to the garden.

Always stunning! The flowers are renewed every month, making the garden look different and beautiful each time. A true gem in Braga!

Beautiful flower and shrub gardens, meticulously maintained and with the backdrop of a castle wall. Absolutely stunning, even in late September!

a small, neat, nice garden. Unfortunately the lack of shade and the strong sun didn't let me spend more than 10 minutes for a walk

It's an amazing construction and is beautifully set into manicured gardens just outside Braga. It is lovely to walk around and is a site that visitors to Fatima include in their itenary. Tough going in a wheelchair, but you can get into the main church. If you do visit and you have a car, go the extra few km up the hill to Samiero.

Bom Jesus do Monte – A Must-See in Portugal Bom Jesus do Monte is one of those places that leaves a lasting impression. The moment you arrive, you’re struck by the majestic baroque stairway, beautifully designed with fountains, statues, and intricate details at every level. Climbing it feels like a journey both physical and spiritual, with breathtaking views as a reward at the top. The sanctuary itself is stunning, set against a backdrop of lush greenery, and the panoramic views over Braga are unforgettable. Whether you walk up the grand staircase or take the funicular, the experience is equally special. It’s not just a religious site but also a place of serenity, history, and beauty—perfect for reflection, photography, or simply soaking in the atmosphere. For me, visiting Bom Jesus do Monte was a magical experience and one I would highly recommend to anyone exploring Portugal.

We only visited this beautiful place in passing. One of Portugal's most famous pilgrimage sites, it is famous for its monumental baroque, serpentine staircase. And from the top of the hill you can enjoy a magnificent view of the city. The world's oldest cable car with a water-balanced system still operates here, the ride itself is not a spectacular experience, but we tried it on the way down. We couldn't take a photo of the stairs from the angle below, because the funicular starts much further down and goes to the top of the stairs, so you have to walk down the stairs (or walk up a lot from the bottom) to the right position. It is worth walking a little higher up, where there is a very nice park with lots of trees and a boating lake.

Climbing the monumental staircase of Bom Jesus do Monte is an incredible experience — each terrace lined with real-size statues and symbolic fountains tells a story. The view from the top is breathtaking, and the surrounding gardens are peaceful and beautifully kept. A perfect mix of faith, art, and nature — absolutely worth the visit!

Since it’s a spiritual journey, it’s really nice to walk up on foot and follow the depicted path of Jesus. Entry to Bom Jesus was free, and it’s clearly a popular spot for weddings – we happened to arrive just as a bride was walking out, which gave us the chance to look inside the church. On the way back, we took the funicular for €2.50, which felt very fair. 👍

Took number 2 bus from the city center. My suggestion is to ride the funicular up and walk down the stairs if possible. If you take funicular both ways, you will miss some amazing views. This place is a must if you are in the area. Short day trip from Porto. You have to pay a small fee to use the toilet but it's very clean.

Highly recommend! What a beautiful UNESCO site. The stairs and the pilgrimage story behind it is beautiful. Funicular was a quick short ride. Ice cream places and hotels around. Loved the boating experience at the lake.

It is a historical monument in Braga where you can visit for free, no admission, and open for 24 hours. If you walk from Braga train station and follow the centro sign, you will see this monument from far. The monument is standing there beautifully to welcome you to the Braga city. After you enter, it is only a pedestrian way, only an authorized vehicle can pass tat way.

This is one of Braga’s most iconic landmarks and historic gateways. Originally part of the medieval city wall, it was constructed around 1373 during the reign of King Dinis with the building of the Torre da Porta Nova (New Gate Tower). The gateway was completed in its early form in 1512 under Archbishop D. Diogo de Sousa. In 1772–1773, the arch was redesigned by André Soares, incorporating both Baroque and Neoclassical elements. The western façade is ornate and Baroque in style, while the eastern side is simpler and Neoclassical. Notably, the arch was built without an actual gate, giving rise to the local saying: Bracarense nunca fecha a porta — Braga folk never close their doors.

Very interesting history about the gates. Also notice the different facades, outside the city walls the coat of arms to show power and inside the city walls Mary is there to protect the city.

The history gate which symbolises the start of the old city is magnificent. This gate is the start of the walking street to explore this old city and the main market place which also have churches and gardens lined up. This place is usually flocking with tourists and have been the major attraction of the city.

This was in Braga. Had a good walk around and had coffee near the cathedral.

It's a historical monument, nothing too exciting, but a great place to grab lunch as there are several restaurants around it. It has great details and it's a great place to take photos as the environment around it is very interesting with the contrast between the old and new.

Nice gate. Take a picture during sunset.

It's not Bom Jesus, just to be clear. But it's a beautiful and well restored monastery. Very creepy because it was so huge and the photographs throughout depicting the restoration are really interesting. It was so dilapidated and they've clearly worked very hard to restore it. It's informative and very peaceful. If you can, do the extra walk around the grounds because this was so good! There are some beautiful woodlands around the monastery with pools and fountains which you would just never know about and they're heavenly. To learn about how the monks lived and how they tended the environment around them up here was a lovely experience. I would definitely recommend.

I visited the Monastery of Tibães and was struck by its history and potential. While some areas are showing signs of wear and tear, it's clear that renovation efforts are underway. The architecture is impressive, and the gardens are peaceful. Despite its current state, the monastery still exudes a sense of grandeur and cultural significance. If you're interested in history and architecture, it's worth a visit. Plus, you'll be supporting the preservation of this important site. Come and see for yourself – it's a piece of Portugal's rich heritage!

Staff were nice, and the place is relatively quiet (except for the construction work being done), but it's quite the detour and there isn't all that much to see - it's old and mostly empty, plus the gardens weren't open when I went. The place is undergoing renovations so it does have potential, but at the moment I can't really recommend. The cappuccino was delicious ;)

Got the local bus from Braga. Stayed for 3hrs. Doing some external renovations, so much to see inside.

The Mosteiro de Tibães is a truly beautiful and inspiring place. Surrounded by peaceful nature, it offers an atmosphere of serenity that allows you to travel back in time. The work of renovation is remarkable — a true tribute to the region’s heritage and to the history that shaped it. Every detail seems to have been restored with great care and respect, preserving the soul of the monastery while giving it new life. A visit here is not only a journey through architecture and art but also a celebration of the culture and spirit of northern Portugal.

Definitely the most beautiful Monastery I've been to (and I've been to a few). Definitely worth doing thw listening tour, was very informative and there was always something available to listen to. In total took about 3hours for us to tour the entire grounds, but it definitely worth it. The safe was so friendly and nice, and the atmosphere was amazing and beautiful as it was rich with so much history... Do ensure that you visit the beautiful lake on the grounds before leaving. Definitely a must see when in Portugal.

such a quiet space, and impressive visit - you are allowed to see almost everything, very impressive for instance to see the old kitchen with its bread ovens or also interesting to see the old toilets - you get a glimpse not only of the spiritual significance of the monastery but also of how the monks lived. thank you!

Very beautiful, there are 3 different exhibitions: one early Christian themed and two other about pharmacies and medicine. The panels are also in english, not only in Portuguese. Friendly staff.

We didn’t have the time to check out the exhibits but the building itself is stunning!

A worthwhile visit in a beautiful place!

Beautiful outside but not a lot interesting things to see inside.

Absolutely nothing to see here. An historic building that’s maybe worth a photo from the outside but definitely not worth buying a ticket to see inside.

The Raiu Palace (also called the Mexican House) was built during the reign of King Joao V, 1774-1755, and is one of the most beautiful buildings in the city of Braga. The palace construction project was developed by the architect Andre Soares, already known in Braga for his artistic projects, by order of the influential and wealthy businessman Juan Duarte de Faria, who was also a knight of the Order of Christ. Presumably in 1867, the palace was sold to the entrepreneur Miguel Jose Rai, and after a while the Palace became known as the Raiu Palace. Later, the building passed to the Order of Mercy, which housed the separate rooms of the Hospital of St. Mark in the palace. As for the architectural features, the palace is made in the late Baroque style. The Baroque style is mainly reflected in the structure of the building, and the building is decorated in the Rococo style. The facade of the two-story palace, with the exception of the window decoration, is decorated with the famous azulejo tiles. The roof of the palace is decorated with a balustrade with pointed turrets. On the ground floor, in addition to the main entrance, there are two more side doors painted blue to match the facade of the building. On the second floor, the balcony, which is located directly above the main entrance, is also decorated with a balustrade and two decorative sculptures. The flank windows on this floor are less sophisticated than the center windows. Particular attention is drawn inside the main staircase with three flights, decorated with a sculpture of a Turk. Raiu Palace is one of the most visited places in the city of Braga, and since 1956 has been included in the list of monuments. which are of public interest

The Palácio do Raio (Raio Palace), also known as Casa do Mexicano, in Braga is a truly unique landmark, distinguished primarily by its exuberant and highly ornamental Baroque façade, a remarkable example of the city's civil architecture. What makes it particularly distinct is its richly decorated exterior covered in blue and white azulejo tiles, depicting mythological and allegorical scenes, making it one of the finest examples of a tile-covered building in Portugal. The windows and balconies are adorned with elaborate stone carvings, and the building is topped with a balustrade featuring sculptures. The combination of azulejos, stonework, and sculptural elements creates a stunning and unforgettable façade. Built in the 18th century, the palace reflects the refined taste of its owner, João Duarte de Faria, and the Baroque style of the era.

Museum is well kept and well explained in Portuguese and English. So pity garden is under refurbishment and not being able to enter.

At the Biscainhos Museum in Braga, I could almost feel and imagine the lives of the nobles who once lived here. From the horse stables to the huge Baroque ballroom, every detail tells a story. The decorated rooms, antique furniture, and peaceful gardens made the visit both cultural and relaxing.

You just might be-surprised by the Museum and the Palace Biscainhos in Braga, Portugal. Biscainhos Palace is an aristocratic palace of the 16th century where there is an interesting ethnographic and art museum. This magnificent palace is located in the center of the city of Braga, in northern Portugal. The museum shows a beautiful collection of Roman relics; furniture and ceramics dating from the 18th and 19th centuries. The palace itself is already an excellent reason for a visit. It has brown roofs and tiles polychrome from 18th century. The tiles represent various hunting scenes. Carriages passed through the ground floor when they were to the stables. You will love its ornate ceilings, tile work, and overall baroque style. #lovelife #RespectAndLove #vacationeveryday

This was a great museum! A great peak into the lives of the wealthy in the 18th century. The gardens are expansive and beautiful. Worth the visit for anyone who appreciates preserved time capsules like this. There was no renovations going on as I saw in previous reviews unless they were in bedrooms, which we did not see or perhaps they’re normally not on exhibit. The staff was also very friendly

The museum's collection is very good! You can spend an hour in this museum.

Beautiful museum, but they are currently renovating the garden, so be aware of that.

Yet another breathtaking place in Braga!

Beautiful cathedral and give very calm feeling. We got ice cream in a cafe near it and we were just sitting and chilling outside on the bench. Really peaceful place. Architecture is beautiful and I loved two angels statues before the entrance.

Lovely setting up above Bom Jesus, worth the visit. Mass is said on Wednesday at 11.00am in English if interested. There is a huge conference (?) center beneath the church where I guess they hold major religious events that are too big for the church.

We saw this on the way to Bom Jesus Do Monte and speed to have a look. We didn't go into the basilica, but admired it from the outside. The complex that the sanctuary is on is vast and beautiful. The steps leading up to the church and the columns are majestic

Higher up than Bom Jesus so worth visiting at the same time. Plenty of parking. A wide flight of straight steps lead up to the church and I have been there when there is a large canopy/alter between the two pillars at the top of the steps where presumably priests address large outdoor congregations on the steps below on special religious occasions. At certain times you can gain access to the dome walkway for a reasonable charge.

This is one of Portugal’s most important Marian pilgrimage sites, located atop Monte Sameiro. It began in 1863 when Father Martinho António Pereira da Silva of the Archdiocese of Braga erected a small monument to commemorate the 1854 proclamation of the Immaculate Conception. Construction of the main church began in 1863, with a new expansion in 1890, and the sanctuary was eventually completed in the 20th century in Neoclassical style. Major pilgrimages are held annually on the first Sunday of June and the third Sunday of August.

Oh this place is so worth to visit just for the sunset alone. It is really magnificent. It is also good for a walk and you have many great views of the cities and landscape from above. Just like Bom Jesus this is a must see if you are in Braga or close. You have multiple places to sit down and relax in this quiet place and I believe there is also a restaurant or bar at the site if you get hungry (closes late afternoon). When I visited there was some exposition downstairs.

Beautiful place great for photos. Lovely view and great if you are religious since you can go in the church aswell

We had a wonderful time viewing the Roman antiques! They have a small but high quality collection upstairs. They also have collections of sundries from the Neolithic, Chalcolithic, through the bronze and Iron Age found in and around this region of Portugal. The cafe looked great too though we didn’t eat. The gardens were nice to walk through as well I would return.

Very interesting museum of archological finds, also possessing a fantastic bequeathed private Greek and Roman collection. The collection is perhaps rather small considering the massive size of this interesting modernist building.

This museum offers an extensive collection of Roman items found in Braga. Some artefacts from Paleo and Middle Ages are also on display. I am really impressed by the collection.

It’s absolutely worth the visit if you love history. The staff arè very nice and there’s a cafeteria to to grab lunch at affordable rate. I really enjoyed my visit

Very well kept museum with a collection of archeological finds from a lot of centuries BC to the Roman empire. The museum is not very big (you're able to visit it calmly in an hour or so), and has a cute gift shop with some interesting merch. The collection is very interesting and pieces look very well maintained. The museum holds very interesting events, classes and workshops. It also has a library, a children's area and a restaurant, located just to the side of the gift shop on the lower floor. The museum is accessible and has ramps and elevators for wheelchairs and people with disabilities circulation.

Interesting archeological pieces dating back from the Romans and onwards

Nice collection and the staff are most helpful and kind, including at the cafeteria. They are truly service oriented and welcoming.

The ticket costs 4€ and you can enjoy an impeccable history of the church. I enjoyed here very much particularly the figurine on Our Lady of the milk. The staff arè nice and helpful and can give you a rundown of the whole museum to help you navigate from one section to the other.

Interesting place with lots of gold

Beautiful religious art and some great archeological pieces. The descriptions obviously have a very religious slant to them, but that was to be expected. The Henrique Medina gallery was absolutely beautiful as well.

An interesting collection of religious items - as you can imagine. But also an exhibition of paintings and some archeological pieces. Plus entry to this museum gets you up the tower. Fantastic views.

Was interesting. Displays could be better in that a reference map should be included showing the origin of the artifact. I thought the price was high Euro 4.

Fascinating history and art gallery! Beautiful old buildings.

Lots display

I found the Museu Nogueiró da Silva to be a very interesting and enjoyable outing. Many of the exhibit rooms had fascinating and humorous juxtapositions of traditional display items and modern / abstract art pieces. The staff were both friendly, informative, and helpful. The gardens were especially beautiful. I would recommend the experience

Really nice museum with a nice staff and audioguide and beautiful garden!

The museum building is not very impressive from outside, and the collection is very eclectic. However, there are hidden gems all over, and the history of the place is fascinating. The access to the garden is always free.

We had a great time visiting this museum. The guides were super passionate and knowledgeable about every work of art in it, and we had a great chat at the end of the tour. Highly recommended!

Amazing !

A beautiful museum in Braga with very well kept collections, ranging from antique furnitures, porcelains, silverware and many other things. Here we can get the glimpse of Nogueira da Silva's life and see the beautiful portraits made by infamous Portuguese painter, Henrique Medina. If you can't speak Portuguese fluently like me, they also have a special tools that will recite the information about the exhibits in English. On the back, they have beautiful garden with a small cafe. Entry to the garden is free.

Reading a book in the tea house Jardim do Chá, hidden in the back of the garden...

We were eager to try some authentic Portuguese cuisine during our road trip, only to be sorely disappointed by our experience at this establishment. The service was dismal, characterized by a server whose attitude was not only unhelpful but openly disdainful. Our earnest attempts to engage using the local language were met with ridicule rather than appreciation, making us feel unwelcome and embarrassed about our pronunciation. To make matters worse, the bread served was so stale it could have caused dental damage. Communication with the server was an exercise in futility; his rapid-fire Portuguese was indecipherable, and he made no effort to help us understand the menu, which wouldn't have been as much of a problem if the dishes weren't exorbitantly priced. Although the food itself was decent, it wasn't nearly good enough to compensate for the overall negative atmosphere. It's disheartening to visit a place that could have showcased the best of its culture but instead chose to alienate us because we weren't fluent in the language. This was a sadly disappointing experience, and it’s a place I'd advise any non-Portuguese speakers to avoid. A sad, sad chapter in what could have been a delightful culinary adventure.

Fantastic traditional family run Portuguese restaurant.

What a great meal! The flavours are outstanding, so well prepared. And then, there also is the host. Such a wonderful man that is kind, and helpful. He is so proud of his restaurant, and he is rightfully so! It is a true gem!

The whole place is very old fashioned. Its like nothing has changed since 1965. Food was OK but unimaginative and menu not exactly exciting. Interior is amazing, in that the place is clearly very old and has probably been there for several generations. You can't park outside and it's a walk down a dark narrow street to get there. Service was fine but again it all felt like a throwback to the early 70s.

Great place, highly recommended. Authentic, both in decor and in service and flavors. You will be helped and served wonderfully, it is a real experience and a must go when in Braga.

I'm from Braga and is the first time I come to visit this place. Very good food, good service and very polite staff. High recommended.

Really good restaurant. Cosy place, friendly service and high quality food. Prices really good. Strongly recommended

Great and iconic stadium. Really worth to visit. The views in and around the stadium are such unique!! The atmosphere is a bit calm, but considering how many people in Braga live, it’s totally understandable. Highly recommended.

Beautiful, unique, iconic stadium. One of the best, but the access is quite difficult: when there is no game, the gates of the parking lot are closed, so then you need to walk around. However, when the gates are open, there is a scenic walk down the rock wall with a view of the stadium while going down, also when leaving the stadium after a game. Amazing

Situated in a former quarry, it's an architectural wonder. Good visibility on all seats. Shame that only has 2 stands, in the winter is really cold, and sometimes isn't as accessibile as it should be

A very unique stadium build into side of mountain. For 10 euros had a guided tour around stadium,dressing rooms, media and onto pitch . Recommended

I had the best experience here! Good atmosphere, great seats and our team won 2:0!!! Would definitely recommend

The stadium is a bit out of town, but still easily accessible on foot. Incredibly friendly employees. We had a guided tour, the guide knew all the details of the stadium, all the history, for every match, every piece of information. The stadium is very beautiful, they took us all over the stadium except for the locker rooms, which they no longer take to because of COVID. We toured the stadium from the basement to the top row of seats. At the end, she advised us what to buy in the store. And of course, where is their store in the center. The stadium is beautiful and worth a visit.

First European away game - Braga v rangers April 2022 … stadium is unique … great away section views in A13/A14 upper tier… be prepared for the steps and the climb… views are exceptional though. Catering selection was limited and could have been better. Toilets were clean and decent size and spacious so hardly any queue. Hold after the game wasn’t that bad either. Overall a great experience and a great stadium. Stewards and police and local fans were friendly too

It was really cool for what it was. I was not able to go inside, I’m not even sure if folks are allowed inside. It is a sweet stone tower in the middle of old town.

I loved to be able to go inside a medieval castle tower, that alone would be awesome, to climb the same steps people climbed many centuries ago. But that's not all. The tower offers a free museum with it's history and that of the city. The graphic panels give a great idea of how life was in the time of the Romans and later. It's a must see in Braga, especially because it is centered and free.

This is the only surviving structure of the Antigo Castelo de Braga (former Braga Castle). A Gothic-style military tower, it stands 30 meters tall and contains three internal floors. Construction of the castle began in the 12th century during the reign of King Dinis of Portugal as part of a larger fortification effort. Additional work was carried out during the reign of King Fernando. The keep tower served as the central stronghold. Most of the original walls were demolished between 1905 and 1906 during a period of urban expansion, leaving only this tower as a remnant of the medieval fortifications.

The famous medieval tower of Braga!

The tower has a small little, free museum inside that describe the different time spans and movements in Braga throughout the centuries. It really put the fall of the Roman empire, the growth of the Catholic Church and the devastation of the plagues into perspective.

The Braga Tower, (Torre de Menagem) is the only authentic surviving structure of the medieval castle. This 30-meter-high granite tower offers a glimpse into the defensive strength of the five towers that once guarded the city's medieval walls. From its top, it provides panoramic views of the city and its surroundings. Although the rest of the castle was demolished in the early 20th century, the tower remains an important symbol of Braga's history and heritage.

Nice tower, but closed

Theatro Circo in Braga is a cultural jewel where history and art meet. Its stunning interior, with elegant red and gold décor, makes every performance unforgettable. From concerts to theater shows, the atmosphere is magical — a place where you don’t just watch art, you truly feel it.

Absolutely stunning theatre. Very well kept and still hosting presentations all year long. If you can snatch a ticket for a play here go ahead and enjoy the view, the theatre is magnificent. The theatre also hosts free exhibitions on its second floor.

A magnificent location in the very centre of Braga. I've visited there twice now for the Semibreve Music festival and the building is outstanding. The staff are always super friendly and the sound is perfect. Great views from almost every seat in the house too. My only problem was the toilets which are old fashioned cubicles for men and women on different floors, with only 3 available at a time, so huge queues build up very quickly, so be prepared to wait! Some photos here taken by Adriano Ferreira Borges but the credit didn't seem to attach! I just want to be polite.

Amazing tour! Rita, our guide, is very knowledgeable. Theatro Circo is full of history. We highly recommend a visit.

Amazing Theatre, one of the most beautiful in Portugal! From the beginning of the XX century, very well renovated great acoustics!

Teatro Circo is a beautiful 20th-century Portuguese Theatre in Braga. I had the pleasure of watching Lisa Gerrard and Jules Maxwell’s concert there and everything was perfect. The seats are comfortable the restrooms were cleaned, the staff is lovely… Definitely returning for future events.

Friendly staff with adequate seating. Was a great experience with one of the best theaters in Braga. Would recommend to anyone in Braga. Most beautiful Theatre I have ever been to.

This is a very small chapel with a small room filled with statues and decorated with wall arts. The chapel has a tower where one can climb a d enjoy the panaromic view of the city. There is a restaurant within the chapel complex and this is just a short visit place. They have maintained this place good and the front architecture is beautiful.

I‘m not sure why you pay €5 entrance fee for a tower that literally offers nothing - particularly not a view. The chapel is nice and interesting but tiny. The best is the drink included, but somehow a strange experience. Overall somehow disappointing.

While not covered in gold or intricately carved woods, the chapel breaths ancient atmosphere once inside its small space usually only by oneself or group. The walls are covered in hand painted tiles as well. The garden/yard in the back provides a quiet retreat with coffee and biscuits, beach chairs and music.

quaint, cozy little restaurant. very friendly staff, interesting atmosphere. we ate outside... cool vibe. daily special price. would recommend!

Coming from a culture vulture, this rating should ring bells. This is a tourist trap, and I couldn't help but feeling cheated and stupid for having spent 25Euro for entry of 5 persons in a miniscule chapel of barely 10 sq meters which will take you no longer than 2-3 minutes to see. Steer clear or pay the (grossly exxagerated) price.

You can’t just buy a ticket for the chapel, you must pay 5€ for a package with a drink. Please don’t support this disgusting business model.

Late gothic style of 16th century is such precious, detailed stonework.

No admission fee. The museum offers range of photos from the previous centuries including of the colonies in other continents once under Portuguese empire. In short, nice art gallery and plenty of artistic skills exhibit. Building itself is historic and kinda monument.

Five stars for the concept. Reusing the remnants of one of the city's medieval towers to hold photo exhibitions is a great idea.

A lot of interesting exibits. Seems like it is always free admission. Also building is one of the oldest in Braga.

A very interesting and very cozy with lots of very good exhibits liked worth visiting

Gorgeous venue! Interesting exhibition. Free to enter.

(Translated by Google) On display until September 15, 2018 Braga and Time - Collective Movements, an exhibition not to be missed! (Original) Em exposição até 15 de setembro 2018 Braga e o Tempo - Movimentos Coletivos, uma exposição a não perder!

(Translated by Google) The website says that the museum is open. And what time it opens. When you arrive at the building, it says that it is under construction. Why isn't the museum's website updated? (Original) No site diz que o museu está aberto. E a hora a que abre. Quando se chega ao edifício tem escrito que está em obras. Porque razão não é actualizada a página do museu?

Decent, well balanced meal, with salad, beef, beans, rice, fries and drink. Friendly, helpful service at the counter, too.

It's looked small shopping center but it's has nice parking area and something which made it unique! Behind the Minho shopping center you can load fresh mineral water, which is checked and very healthy.

Beautiful to see If you're planning on visiting Braga

Okay stores, small food court and plenty of parking.

Very nice place good stores

It has everything you need a huge supermarket - electronics - food - clothing - sports. There is lots of space to walk around and not feel to close to others. The parking access is easy and offers lots of spaces.

This is a great little mall. It has amenities like a super market and other stores. The reasons why I am not giving this little place 5 stars are: 1- No movie theatre. Seriously. 2- The kids play area is very small. 3- The food court has not much in the way of portuguese food. Otherwise you will find a quaint place. It is safe and clean. Also, as an added bonus, it has a lot of parking space.

It has an amazing architecture, but I simply do not like the idea of paying to enter a church. There are many interesting sculptures that you may see for free and if you want to see more, there are also the paid parts of the cathedral and the museum, which are also beautiful.

At first glance, the Igreja da Misericórdia de Braga might go unnoticed by those who pass between the bustling square and the grand Sé Cathedral just behind it. But this church is no mere footnote in Braga’s religious landscape — it’s a radiant jewel of Renaissance architecture and deeply lived faith. Our visit coincided with the Semana Santa, and that alone elevated the atmosphere to something bordering the mystical. Processional floats, like the striking figure of Christ crowned with silver rays and surrounded by white flowers on deep purple velvet, awaited their moment of passage. The scent of incense, the gilded altarpieces, and the glow of stained glass cast a golden reverence over the small but richly decorated interior. What many don’t realize is that this church has a quiet passage that links it directly to the Sé Cathedral, forming a shared sacred space — architecturally and spiritually. This connection grants access to the Cathedral’s Treasure Museum, a marvel in itself, where we saw a fascinating array of vestments, ancient crosses, religious relics, and even Hispano-Arab tiles. The church and museum together form one of the most immersive windows into Braga’s layered religious history. One of the most surprising moments came as we explored the rear courtyard behind the church. There, unexpected and mostly unmentioned in guidebooks, lie traces of archaeological ruins, including tombs from Roman times, stone artifacts, and silent cloister spaces soaked in history. It’s the kind of detail that rewards the attentive and respectful visitor — a place where the past still breathes through mossy stone and rain-slicked granite. Despite all its richness, the church lacks proper signage and explanations for foreign visitors, and some areas — especially around the ruins — feel neglected, as if waiting to be rediscovered. But that, in a way, is part of the charm. This is not a place of polished tourism. It’s a space that asks you to look closer, to slow down, and to listen. Igreja da Misericórdia is not only a hidden treasure — it is a living one. Humble in appearance but astonishing in content, it connects Braga’s sacred tradition to the visitor in a quiet, powerful, and intimate way. Those who walk past without entering will miss not just a beautiful church, but an entire dimension of the city’s soul.

Beautiful peaceful and quiet church, with interesting architecture and pretty nice sculptures at the town of Braga. The whole area is a beautiful one.

We hope we can go inside next time.

Do take a picture in this wonderful courtyard on a cloudy day. Feels like camouflage.

Creepy church filled with bones and coffins. Typical Catholic memorabilia and numerous opportunities to continue enriching the Catholic Church through donations. The ruins are falling apart.

We are catholic and go to mass every Sunday. We were not allowed to enter the mass despite the fact that we told the short man in the entrance that we are catholic. All he said was: it lasts one hour and we said we know because that’s the usual length of the mass. We were dressed appropriately and he let the other people go through. I don’t know if it was because of our age or because we don’t speak Portuguese because we are from Argentina. It’s disgusting to be treated like this by your own church.

Roman Thermae of Maximinus Termas Romanas do Alto da Cividade Type: museum, historical ruins Time spent: 15 min Price: 2 EUR - normal WC: available Path for disabled: not available Bike parking: nearby the entrance Car parking: small Archeological ruins of public baths and theatre of Bracara Augusta (the old name of Braga). The thermae complex was constructed in the second half of the 1st century BC. The theatre - 2nd century. By the 5th century both were abandoned.

Worth seeing, but could be better. You'll only need about 30 minutes to see and read everything at this museum, but it's still worth the price of admission and half an hour of your time. Getting to see Roman ruins so close up with so few people around shouldn't be overlooked. I would say that the site definitely lacks information, there at only 4 sign boards to read and the computer which I assume is supposed to provide more details isn't working.

If traveling abroad make sure to bring student id or teacher I'd, they give a discount here. It's only a few euro to enter and a short visit, but so worth it! They had an interesting video about how people used the baths throughout history and you can see how the amphitheater is being excavated and sits right in the back yard of some folks. Such a neat way to see history and see how we have been building from there, how it's impacted our cities and towns today, and makes you wonder how our choices today will impact the future.

Amazing to think of how old this bath house is. €4 euros for 2 of us. The person at the register spoke English and was able to explain a bit of it to us. Very nice lady.

Nice Roman Villa excavation. A bit more explanation and visualisation, how it was used and how it looked like, would have been nice to keep the kids more engaged.

Decently kept Roman bath to get a touch of feeling ancient Romans life. Not must see, but as a 15-minute stop, it's ok. Really friendly stuff.

A very interesting Thermae ruins from the Roman era, with a circulation path from which you can view them and, with the help of virtual reality understand what they may have looked like. Also there is a small visitor center where you can find a good lot more of information and guided tours. Recommended place to visit next to the Archaelogy Museum.

When you visit Braga, you can visit this church. The church has beautiful architecture. It is easy to reach the location by maps if you are afraid to get lost. The entrance is accessible for wheelchairs. There is almost no queue to enter the church.

The Basilica dos Congregados in Braga is a striking Baroque church that immediately catches your eye with its ornate façade. Stepping inside, the golden altars and detailed artwork create a sense of awe. By day it shines with history, and by night its illuminated beauty makes the square unforgettable.

Beautiful on the outside and not too complicated on the inside.

It's a very beautiful church.

Nice place!

Very nice place

An oratory temple, with the attached convent (currently one of the buildings occupied by the University of Minho), well worth the visit. Lots of religious activities (Catholic) going on, particularly Confessions.

As an FYI..the Google open/closed times are not always accurate. Visiting Tuesday, November 14 aroybd 14:30 wasn't possible. Suggest contacting the church staff prior to visiting to confirm that they're open. (Had to add star to post comment...went middle of the road)

This is a wonderful church on the outskirts of Braga. As opposed to Bom Jesus, there was no one around when I visited and it seemed like I walked through a housing estate to get there. I would advise you to follow the road signs to the place rather than use Google Maps. The Capela de São Frutuoso is also known as the Capela de São Frutuoso de Montélios and is a pre-Romanesque chapel that was originally built by the Visigoths.

São Frutuoso chapel, in Braga, the oldest church in Portugal retaining its original structure. It was built by St Frutuoso, Bishop of Braga, in the latter half of the 7th century as the church of São Salvador de Montélios, and remained relatively unchanged through the centuries. It was incorporated into the 17th century convent of São Francisco as a chapel connected to the main church. It's a tiny church on the Greek cross pattern with an interior dome. It bears a resemblance to the Mausoleum of Galla Placidia in Ravenna and may have been intended as the tomb of St Frutuoso.

Charming chapel which dates back to Visigothic period.

Historical place

(Translated by Google) It consists of a small chapel, in pre-Romanesque style, with a Suevo-Visigothic design, apparently inspired by Byzantine mausoleums. Its interior is considered a unique example of the architecture of the high Galician Middle Ages. (Original) Constitui-se em uma capela de pequenas dimensões, em estilo pré-Românico, com traça Suevo-visigótica, aparentemente inspirada nos mausoléus bizantinos. O seu interior é considerado como exemplar único da Arquitetura da alta Idade Média Galaica.

(Translated by Google) This historic chapel is perhaps the oldest in Portugal. It is said to have been built in the year 660 by Bishop São Frutuoso, during the Visigothic Era, when the entire Iberian territory was a single kingdom. The structure preserves pre-Roman architectural elements, such as arches and other decorations, and has withstood the wear and tear of time and successive interventions. There is a small medieval path nearby. (Original) Capela histórica, por ventura, a mais antiga de Portugal. Consta que terá sido mandada erigir no ano 660 pelo bispo São Frutuoso, ainda na Era Visigotica, quando todo o territorio iberico era um só reino. A estrutura preserva elementos arquitetônicos pré-romanicos com arcos, e outras decorações, tendo sufrido o desgate do tempo e sucecivas intervenções. Nas imediações existe um pequeno caminho medievo.

It's a good place to get some souvenirs, like the papaleria where you can photocopy your documents, print both pictures and documents. They also sell custom made mugs, albums and diaries. They the Pingo doce and other shops.

It's an old shopping center with few options, except for a Pingo Doce and a few fast-food places

Very beautiful place,great photos, lots of shop's and restaurants.

If you have never been to this location, you will find unique little shops to tickle your fancy. And of course these shops want to lighten your wallet. Joy, joy joy shopping. My wallet is no longer fat. It has gone on a diet after spending it some here.

It has good amenities, a decent cafeteria and a variety of services available, however, it needs to catch up with the 21st century, you can tell the main customer flow is the supermarket and the cafeteria. Shame because it’s central and it has a cinema. Edit: It no longer has a cinema.

Pretty bad shopping mall with many empty shops and other shops not open when they are supposed to be. Poor lighting and interested shop owners. We also wanted to use the rest rooms but we could already smell the urine a few metres away so we skipped that. We left this place very quickly

To be nice and honest this should have been closed many years ago. The truth is that it is possible one of the worse malls and shouldn’t even exist anymore

Cute square, well ventilated and a lot of shade. Great to rest or just spend some time. The square is surrounded by restaurants, bara and coffee shops.

City Hall and Park~

Lovely quiet beautiful square. The little benches and grassy inclines are great for laying or leaning in the sun reading and relaxing

You should visit here to relax.

Beautiful square with a fountain and benches under the trees to rest.

Classical style good proportions. You feel good here. So many good evenings chilling out with friends here...

World Folklore festival was great!

This is a monumental religious staircase consisting of 265 steps, forming the principal devotional ascent leading up to the sanctuary.

Breathtaking panoramic views of the city and the surrounding mountains, it seems you can even see the ocean

What a beautiful place to admire the sunset. Go to the church, marry up there, chill just an amazing place overall

Beautifull place on top of a mountain. Gorgeous view.

Stairway to heaven if Led Zeppelin have been involved. Super nice area to walk around.

Classic spot to watch the sunset or even go for a night walk, close to Bom Jesus as well.

Beautiful church

Great areas for concerts and other events, also has small bars with pretty much all the drinks you need. You can tell that the rooms have AC for the most part but it still gets very hot inside the black box. The architecture of the building is also appealing. Highly recommend

A great place with a lot of opportunities for youth, to create, learn, think amd develop anything, to have a good quality free time, and to startup something. Here you'll find specialists that can help you on the matter you are dealing with.

Super cool place in the centre of Braga, cultural venue, one of the few alternative scenes in Braga

A place for/of culture and more....

A great place to watch concerts and exhibitions. Modern with open air spaces and bars.

They had a nice expo about how our atmosphere is made up with a nice colorfull view.

It was a GNR headquarters a few years ago, reformed for party's and expositions. Very nice

Nice place on the top of the hill with a good view on Sameiro a d Braga. Interesting climb by bike.

Panorama, Braga and surroundings.

Beautiful place!

Amazing place!

(Translated by Google) At an altitude of 562 metres, a small chapel dedicated to Santa Marta, surrounded by leafy cork oaks, gives its name to a place of unparalleled historical importance: Santa Marta das Cortiças, whose vast and transversal archaeological heritage, which is still discreetly preserved underground, shows traces dating back to the 8th century BC. (Original) A 562 metros de altitude, uma pequena capela em devoção a Santa Marta, rodeada de frondosos sobreiros, dá o nome a um lugar de uma ímpar importância histórica: Santa Marta das Cortiças, cujo vasto e transversal património arqueológico, que discretamente ainda se guarda no subsolo, evidencia marcas que remontam ao século VIII a.C.

(Translated by Google) On the Monte de Santa Marta there is a small chapel called Santa Marta das Cortiças, which is a place of historical importance that is still preserved underground, with archaeological finds (dating back to the 8th century BC), remains of a pre-Roman fort that was later Christianised (5th and 6th centuries) and the Palace of the Suevi Kingdom, which attest to the occupation of this place for over a millennium. Also visit the viewpoint, the swing and the picnic area. (Original) No Monte de Santa Marta fica uma pequena Capela que se designa Santa Marta das Cortiças e apresenta um lugar com importância histórica que ainda se guarda no subsolo, achados arqueológicos (remontam ao século VIII a.C.), vestígios de um castro pré-romano que mais tarde foi cristianizado (séculos V e VI) e do Palácio do Reino dos Suevos que atestam uma ocupação deste lugar durante mais de um milénio.

(Translated by Google) The chapel of Santa Marta do Leão is named after a lion ("Leão") because it is very close to the Fonte do Leão. More on that in a moment. The chapel dates from 1917 and was built at the expense of Júlio d'Amorim Limas, a respected citizen of Braga. The furnishings with valances, altar, tribune and pulpit come from the old church of the Convento dos Remédios, which was demolished in 1911. The image of the patron saint was made by the Braga sculptor João Evangelista Vieira and was a gift from Leopoldo de Sousa Machado, who had been blessed during the 1916 celebrations. (Original) Die Kapelle Santa Marta do Leão heißt nach einem Löwen ("Leão"), weil sich ganz in der Nähe der Fonte do Leão befindet. Dazu gleich mehr. Die Kapelle stammt aus dem Jahr 1917 und wurde auf Kosten Júlio d'Amorim Limas, eines angesehenen Bürgers Bragas errichtet. Die Einrichtung mit Volants, Altar, Tribüne und Kanzel stammt aus der alten Kirche des Convento dos Remédios, die 1911 abgerissen wurde. Das Bild der Schutzpatronin stammt vom Bildhauer João Evangelista Vieira aus Braga und war ein Geschenk von Leopoldo de Sousa Machado, der bei den Feierlichkeiten von 1916 gesegnet worden war.

(Translated by Google) What a beautiful little chapel (Original) Que linda capelinha

(Translated by Google) Bucolic (Original) Bucólico

The entrance is actually at the Seminário Conciliar de São Pedro e São Paulo. The chapel is really interesting, too bad no explanations are given and everything is quite rushed. Would be lovely to spend a few minutes there. Still a great visit.

(Translated by Google) A multi-award-winning prayer space, built of wood and whose structure is located a few centimeters above the ground, a reflection of the spiritual elevation that can be felt there. If you can, sit in silence for a few minutes, in introspection. Since it is located in a seminary, the Chapel is only open for a few hours, once a week. (Original) Um espaço de oração muiti-premiado, construído em madeira e cuja estrutura se situa uns centímetros acima do solo, um reflexo da elevação espiritual que aí se sente. Se puder, sente-se em silêncio durante alguns minutos, em introspecção. Um vez que fica inserida num seminário, a Capela abre apenas durante umas horas, uma vez por semana.

(Translated by Google) Wordless. That is. It leaves you like that, it makes you feel so good that its warmth and simplicity captures you. captivates you (Original) Sin palabras. Eso es. Te deja así, te hace sentir tan bien que te atrapa su calidez y sencillez. Te cautiva

(Translated by Google) It has only been open for a short time, and it is difficult to find the entrance because it is not marked. After asking at the museum next door, we discovered that we had to ring the bell and ask to visit. The cleaning lady took us there to visit and after 2 minutes we were already out of the space because she sent us away immediately... she didn't talk about the space or anything. I'm sorry that the tour is not being conducted by someone with a greater interest in the subject. I can't show any photos because the two I took on polaroids were poorly lit. Given the short time I was there, I must say that the best time to take photos would be in the summer, because the chapel of S. Pedro and S. Paulo is in front of the window and casts shade over this space. (Original) Está pouco tempo aberto, é difícil encontrar a entrada porque não está assinalada. Depois de perguntar no museu ao lado descobrimos que era necessário tocar à campainha e pedir para visitar. A senhora da limpeza lá nos levou a visitar e ao fim de 2 minutos já estávamos fora do espaço porque nos despachou de imediato... não falou sobre o espaço nem nada. Tenho pena que a visita não seja feita por alguém com mais interesse sobre o assunto. Não posso mostrar fotos porque as duas que tirei em polaroid ficaram pouco iluminadas. Pelo pouco tempo que lá estive, devo dizer que a melhor altura para fotos será o verão, porque a capela de S.Pedro e S.Paulo fica à frente da janela e faz sombra para este espaço

(Translated by Google) An extraordinary place, uniquely integrated into an old seminary in the centre of Braga. The space invites you to linger and reflect, but also to wander around and discover the connection between the outside and the inside of the surroundings. The structure is built entirely of wood, without the use of nails or screws. You can only visit it on Fridays. (Original) Um lugar extraordinário, integrado de forma singular num antigo seminário no centro de Braga. O espaço convida à permanência e reflexão, mas também ao deambular na descoberta da articulação entre o exterior e o interior da envolvente. A construção da estrutura toda em madeira, é feita sem fixações de pregos ou parafusos. Só se visita à sexta feira.

(Translated by Google) A very special place. Theologically well-thought-out, aesthetically fascinating design. Because it is part of a seminary, it is not open to the public. But if you manage to gain access, a space for spiritual experiences opens up. This chapel conveys a sense of security and shows how beautiful modern art and architecture can be. (Original) Ein ganz besonderer Ort. Theologisch durchdachte, ästhetisch faszinierende Gestaltung. Da Teil eines Priesterseminars, nicht öffentlich zugänglich. Aber wenn es einem gelingt, Zugang zu bekommen, öffnet sich einem ein Raum für spirituelle Erfahrungen. Diese Kapelle vermittelt Geborgenheit und zeigt, wie schön moderne Kunst und Architektur sein kann.

(Translated by Google) A place that invites introspection, where everything has a meaning! I highly recommend a visit, which should be booked in advance as the Chapel is located in a space closed to the public. (Original) Local que convida à introspeção, onde tudo tem um significado! Aconselho vivamente a visita, que deve ser marcada com antecedência visto a Capela estar situada num espaço fechado ao público.

Very beautiful and clean city.

Braga is full of holes in The pavements... The Traffic is horrible...all The new works are given to the same enterprises.... The security is going down with assaults on The houses and kidnaping people inside ... All The prizes that you are saying that Braga is wonderfull are purchased... it's all a lie!

Gorgeous place, apparently very well kept.

Braga has a bimillennial history that began in Ancient Rome, when it was founded in 16 B.C. It was nicknamed Bracara Augusta in honor of the Roman emperor Augustus and was one of the most important cities of the time. To relive this part of history, there is an annual event in Braga that takes us back to the past. It's called "Braga Romana" and takes place at the end of May. For 5 days, the people of Braga dress up and the city gathers events, parades, demonstrations, and the famous stalls with handmade products and food that goes back to that time.

Beautiful building, well maintained. Lots of history to learn and appreciate

Very pretty place, Beautiful tile work inside. Free to go in for a quick visit.

Very beautiful indeed, but lacks tourist info, the old stones are just in the ground left for good luck. The building was a medieval palace and before that was part of the celt old buildings.

This is so nicely maintained, with beautiful colors even in the late autumn months. It is free access and a quick pitstop while exploring the city.

Ancient building in the old town center. As far as I know it was not open for visits.

Beautiful combination of nature and architecture

Art the sta Barbara way. ..what a garden, personal. .
