    For 3 euros round trip got to ride the quaint funicular up to a beautiful location with great views of Braga. Well worth it!

    This is a beautiful cathedral. It was even better than we expected. We wish we could have spent more time there.

    The beautiful Mountain View was from Hoko Sushi bar in Braga. We learnt from google that there is a sanctuary. What a beautiful surprise when we got there. The Sanctuary Of Our Lady Of Sameiro is beautiful. The views surrounding this sanctuary are gorgeous. Not to mention the sunset. We were lucky to have clear blue skies. The drive up is beautiful. The energetic ones can hike to the top. You can cycle to the place too. So if you are visiting the North enter this in your diary. Portugal is special. Surprises are never too far away and some need not be planned for.

    We love gardens and this one didn't disappoint us.
    It is a beautiful oasis in the middle of Braga.
    It is very well laid out and tended to.

    This monastery was amazing! We were able to go into the church, the gardens, 3 stories of history that was all restored! Totally worth the 4 euros. We were there for 3 hrs. People were super nice!

    It is a rather large and central square, which gets quite crowded and there's not much to do there but some medieval buildings on it have quite interesting history and architecture making it worth visiting.

    This large 17th century palace with later Baroque interior additions occupies a substantial site in the centre of Braga. As well as the main house, there are stables, large formal gardens and lovely statuary. The house itself is really well preserved with a wealth of original features and has lots of furniture on display although it is not set up as it would have been when it was occupied by nobility. The furniture is chiefly gifts from wealthy benefactors. It follows a set route finishing with a visit to the kitchen and stables before providing the opportunity to wander around the formal gardens.
    Remarkable value at just €2 to enter. At present part of the gardens are sectioned off as refurbishment work is ongoing but there is still plenty to see.

    A very central church, open most of the time, which seems to be a rather rare case in Braga (and Portugal in general I imagine). Splendid baroque interior!

    Nice looking portico with lots of cafes and shops nearby, would be perfect without the main road/roadworks being around it.

    Lovely exterior is supplemented by an interesting exhibition inside with lots of detail on the palace which was great value for money (it cost me 1 euro as I am a student).
