What to do in Braga
In the hills of Minho, about 25 miles north of Porto, the third largest city of Portugal combines a rich religious heritage with the beauty of its gardens and landscapes. Meet up in our hotel in Braga, from which you can access the treasures of the city center and the buildings perched in the surrounding hills. To begin with, the sanctuary of Good Jesus of the Mount is one of the city’s must-sees. You can reach it by driving through the countryside or from the upper town by taking the picturesque Baroque stairs… or the funicular. Dominating the historic center, the Sé Cathedral of Braga is remarkable for its Romanesque portal decorated with scenes from the Reynard the Fox. Finally, take a break in the Santa Barbara garden, a flowery haven that faces the former episcopal palace. Then find the comfort, tranquility and delicious cuisine of your hotel.
