Overview

Braga, originally named "Bracara Augusta," was founded by the Romans in the 2nd century B.C. The city is rich with historical remnants spread throughout the town. Known primarily as a destination for religious tourism, Braga boasts the highest number of churches in the country, attracting numerous visitors each year for its religious significance and cultural heritage.

On this exclusive four-hour private tour, you will explore the heart of Braga, including the renowned Triangle of Faith, which comprises the Sanctuaries of Sameiro, Bom Jesus, and the Cathedral.

Braga is also known for its vibrant young population, thanks to the University colleges from "Alto Minho." In fact, it was named the European Youth Capital in 2012. Discover this and much more on a four-hour private tour from Porto!
