Braga is famously known as the Religious Capital of Portugal and one of the country's oldest cities. Often dubbed the Portuguese Rome, it boasts an extraordinary concentration of churches, monasteries, and religious monuments. It is celebrated for its deep historical roots (dating back to the Roman Empire) and its vibrant academic atmosphere, thanks to the University of Minho. Travellers visiting Braga are typically drawn to its Baroque architecture and its significance during Easter (Semana Santa).
The absolute must-see attraction is the Santuário do Bom Jesus do Monte. This magnificent religious sanctuary, located just outside the city centre, is renowned for its incredible Baroque stairway (the Escadório do Bom Jesus). The site, including its unique funicular, was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2019. Visitors can either climb the hundreds of steps or take the historic water-powered funicular to reach the church at the top.
Braga’s cuisine is hearty and flavourful. A famous local speciality is Bacalhau à Braga (Braga-style codfish), which is fried and served with potato wedges and onion rings. Another beloved dish is Rojões à Moda do Minho (marinated and roasted pork chunks). For dessert, look for sweet staples like Pudim Abade de Priscos (a rich pudding made with bacon fat and port wine).
