Hotels in Braga

Braga football stadium, Cathedral de Se, and Bom Jesus de Monte well worth a visit. Lovely restuarants: Cozinha de Se : amazing value and delicious food. Brak: lunchtime buffet for 10 euros per person , really good value and very tasty.- evening meal apparently is a little more expensive with haute cuisine although we did not try this. Walking by foot is the best way to discover Braga. Parking is difficult and can be costly. Most hotels, guest houses do have some parking nearby. The signing of main roads is difficult to navigate to Braga, but there is nothing really to avoid.

Braga is a nice place and close to Porto. However, it is very quiet in January. I little too quiet. I must add that the weather wasn't very nice when we went there. It didn't help the night life. Braga must be very nice and convenient during from Spring to Fall. In hindsight, I think it would have been better to stay directly in Porto at this time of the year (January).

We only went for a long weekend to explore the town. There are lots of ornate churches and plenty of history to the place. the public spaces have lots of gardens with flowers, and there is a lot of public art and sculpture on display. We will have to return some day for longer to finish off exploring! The town is just the right size, with lots of public transport (though also a few hills and rises, but nothing too mountainous!). There are plenty of street cafes to eat or just relax with a beer and people-watch.

The small city with lots of monuments. The 11 century cathedral is very nice and worth to visit. The Braga restaurants are nice and serve very delicious food. Bon Jesus Monte is no far from city center. By bus 10 minutes.

A beautiful place, lots of places to visit. We are runners and the trails were fabulous, miles and miles and we hardly saw anyone, just two people on bikes. Fav place has to be Bom Jesus do Monte. You have to visit this place. there even hotels at Bom Jesus, really nice and not expensive at all. We went to supermarkets for food and then went to cafes for coffee and cakes.

A beautiful historic centre, fascinating buildings wherever you look. The cathedral is well worth a visit, the oldest in Portugal. The inner city is fully walkable and pedestrianised with myriad cafe's restaurants and shops providing an eclectic mix of new with the very old. Bus services are prolific as are taxis. Braga is surrounded by lovely countryside with a mountainscape setting it off. An enjoyable bus ride will take you directly to the end of a line where you will find the church of Bom Jesus da Monte with its spectacularly stunning staircase leading up to the church itself and spectacular views over the city. Do not neglect the wonderful water powered funicular taking you to the top and back. No need for expensive tours. Beware the huge portions when you eat in the local restaurants.
