In our Braga Essential Free Tour we will tour the entire historic center of Braga, soaking up its history, culture, art and traditions with local guides.
The tour begins in front of the entrance to the city, the iconic Arco da Porta Nova, and winds through the cobblestone streets of Braga to discover monuments such as the Braga Cathedral, the University of Minho, the Largo de Santa Cruz or the Garden of Santa Bárbara .
You may have heard that Braga was an important Roman city, and is considered the capital of the Baroque and the Portuguese Church, but did you know that Braga was the capital of the first medieval kingdom in Europe? Or that it has a hidden castle?
Discover these and many other secrets of the city with us and take home an unforgettable memory of your trip.
Look for our green umbrella with the 12Tours logo and the Spanish flag in front of the Arco da Porta Nova.
Free tours do not have a set price, instead, each person gives the guru at the end of the tour the amount that he or she considers appropriate (these usually range from €10 to $50 depending on satisfaction with the tour).
