Overview of the tour in Braga

Meet us at Largo da Praça Velha to kick off our guided tour of Braga, where we'll get to know this Portuguese city.

In this historic plaza we can admire the emblematic Porta Nova Arch, built in 1512. Its ornate baroque details provide the perfect entryway to the Braga Wall. Our walking tour continues as we stroll down Diogo de Sousa Street to the Town Hall building. Initially starting construction in 1754 and finished in 1865, this incredible baroque-style building is a feast for the eyes!

Braga is Portugal's former religious center, and during our tour, we'll discuss the storied past of this particular area. We'll pass through the Santa Barbara Gardens and the Third Order Church and the impressive Braga Cathedral while sharing interesting facts about this city's storied past. We'll also be visiting other important monuments that show the power of the Archbishops.

Finally, we'll return to the meeting point 2.5 hours later, closing our tour.
