Discover Braga by Hire Car

Braga is a university city in the north of Portugal.

Numerous attractions, such as the Republic Square in the center of the city, the Holy Mountain, the second largest Marian shrine in Portugal, the Santa Barbara Garden, a football stadium, theaters and museums.

As well as a large number of churches and the 12th century cathedral and other baroque buildings attract visitors to the city.

Discovering the countryside of Braga

In addition, day trips to smaller but interesting places in the area are worthwhile, for example to Aveiro or to the weekly market in Barcelos and also to the metropolis of the country – Porto (Braga is located on the European road E 805).

The picturesque harbour town of Viana do Castelo with its worth seeing castle directly at the harbour should be visited in any case.

Unlike the rest of the country, the inhabitants of the Braga area prefer a hearty cuisine, with the various stews being particularly noteworthy.

Accompanied by a vinho verde, a very light fruity wine that is offered as a house wine in many places, finally rounds off a visit.
