Overview

Braga is the district capital in the Minho region with a total area of 183km2 and around 200,000 inhabitants. It is a very heterogeneous city carrying in its legacy and history several cultural influences that lead to the present Best European Destination (2021).
Dissecting a little its genesis as following:

- The city of Archbishops
- Portuguese Rome
- The Roman city
- The Baroque city
- Heart of Minho
- City of Youth

These are more than enough reasons for us to call Braga - Cosmopolitan town. And you? What will you call it at the end of our visit?
