Tour description

Step into the heart of Braga, a city where history and modernity blend seamlessly. 

Begin by marveling at the majestic Braga Cathedral, an architectural masterpiece that has stood as the city’s spiritual center for centuries. Its striking exterior showcases a blend of Romanesque, Gothic, and Baroque styles, a testament to Braga’s rich religious heritage.

Nearby, the Archbishop’s Palace, with its elegant façade and beautifully manicured gardens, stands as a symbol of the city’s historical prominence and ecclesiastical power.

As you continue through the historical center, you’ll encounter the Old City Gate, a baroque gateway that once marked Braga’s entrance and continues to be a cherished landmark. Beyond the gate, contemporary streets unfold, lined with theaters, bustling shops, and charming cafes, reflecting Braga’s dynamic blend of old and new.

Our guide will lead you past ornate churches, each with its own fascinating story, and the remnants of ancient city walls, silent witnesses to Braga’s evolution over the centuries. And special recommendations will help you to choose traditional meals and delicacies you would never find in other place.

This tour is perfect for those who wish to explore Braga’s historical and cultural wonders while enjoying the beauty of its open-air landmarks. Join us for an enriching walk through one of Portugal’s most fascinating cities!
