Braga has over 2000 years of history and is the oldest city in Portugal. With its captivating environment, it has a medieval and religious scene that mixes with a young and entrepreneurial vibe. Located just 40 minutes away from Porto, you definitely won’t want to miss the charm of this city, also known as the Portuguese Rome, the fruit of its origin in the Roman city of Bracara Augusta.
The historic scenery of Braga is known for its distinctive churches, magnificent 18th-century buildings, gardens, parks and leisure spaces, but it’s also evident in all the splendor of its temples, museums and churches. Some of these impose themselves as landmarks of mandatory reference and visit due to their inherent devotion and beauty. The Sanctuary of Sameiro, Bom Jesus and Falperra, are a few examples that are home to astonishing green spaces and paradisiacal sceneries.
Visiting Braga is taking a journey through time and also modernism. The Portuguese Rome doesn’t fall short in areas such as culture as the city imposes its richness and story, trade, gastronomy, industry and services, also living hand in hand with the emerging entrepreneurial and a young spirit.
