Braga - Romeins & Barok / Volledige dag - vanuit Porto
Beschrijving
Braga is de districtshoofdstad in de regio Minho met een totale oppervlakte van 183km2 en ongeveer 200.000 inwoners. Het is een zeer heterogene stad met in haar erfenis en geschiedenis verschillende culturele invloeden die leiden tot de huidige Best European Destination (2021). Het ontleden van een beetje zijn ontstaan als volgt: - De stad van de aartsbisschoppen - Portugees Rome - De Romeinse stad - De barokke stad - Hart van Minho - Stad van de jeugd Dit zijn voor ons meer dan genoeg redenen om Braga - Cosmopolitan town te noemen. En jij? Hoe ga je het noemen aan het einde van ons bezoek?
Rondreisopties
Reisroute
Ingang via de oude middeleeuwse muren. Gekenmerkt vandaag door een decoratieve boog die gratis toegang tot de stad prijst (18e eeuw)
We kunnen het beschouwen als de oudste kathedraal in Portugal. Sinds het begin heeft het een groot invloedsgebied en grote kerkelijke macht gehad. De oprichting van het bisdom dateert uit de 3e eeuw en de kathedraal die we zullen bezoeken dateert uit de 11e eeuw.
Het mooiste zicht in het hart van de stad! Zonder twijfel de best verzorgde tuin van de stad.
Het laatste stukje van het oude Braga's Castle. We zullen interessante details in de omgeving waarderen.
We zullen het oude deel van de stad ontdekken, de belangrijkste representatieve constructies, en andere niet zo zichtbaar. Liberty av., is de belangrijkste laan waar iedereen ontmoet!
Werelderfgoed door UNESCO (2019), deze set van trap, kabelbaan en heiligdom genereren een indrukwekkend gezicht en details die de moeite waard zijn om te verkennen. Dit is een andere draaikolk van de geloofsdriehoek die ongeveer 6 km van het stadscentrum staat en een geweldig uitzicht biedt op de stad en contact met de natuur.
Tijdens het bezoek zullen we de Romeinse aanwezigheid en het Romeinse erfgoed aanraken en ruïnes en artefacten observeren die tot op de dag van vandaag bewaard zijn gebleven.
Vlak naast de hoofdstraat van de stad (Liberdade), zullen we deze prachtige constructie uit de XVIII eeuw versierd met diepblauwe tegels bewonderen.
Dit heiligdom staat in het hoogste deel van de heuvel naast Braga. Van daaruit kunnen we een verbazingwekkend 360o uitzicht krijgen. Daarbij komen nog alle geschiedenis en erfgoed sinds de stichting van de 19e eeuw en alle mystieke omgeving.
Het hoogste punt van de stad en een bevoorrechte plek om het gebied bezet door het kasteel te bewonderen, en hoe de stad zich ontwikkelt.
Een van de meest populaire pleinen in de stad. Omringd door religieuze elementen en legendes, en ideaal voor geweldige foto's.

Very nice guy Ricardo, showed us a lot of interesting things in Braga. Especially impressed were all the religious sites and churches. We were very satisfied with this trip.
Hello my friends! I hope you are all well. Thank you so much for the kind comment about our more focused exploration of the religious origins of Braga. I agree that although its foundation and roots predate Christianity, and although it is now a modern, young and vibrant city, the connection with Catholicism since the Middle Ages is especially striking! A big hug to you from Portugal! Best regards, Ricardo Costa
A relaxing morning in the city center with a fabulous trip to the cathedral followed by Bom Jesus. It couldn't have been better. Ricardo was a fabulous guide!
This was a very enjoyable tour. My husband and I were happy with the sights and narration by our tour guide.
Thank you so much for your kindness and appreciation. It was also a pleasure to show you the wonders of the beautiful city of Braga. I hope you come back soon, so you can experience even more of our diverse Portugal! Best regards
An excellent tour, starting with the luxury of getting collected from our apartment without the hassle of finding a pick up point at some ungodly hour of the morning. Our driver Ricardo was a gentleman and such good company. We enjoyed the day so much without worrying about finding places or wondering round clueless to what was all around us. If we had hired a car, I doubt we would have experienced half of what we did on the day. Heartily recommend.
Thank you so much for your compliments and kindness. It's truly one of our missions - To provide the best possible experience! Show, explain, and provide content that a visitor might not otherwise see on their own. On the end of the day, having visitors as friends and reading such positive reviews fills us with pride. Thank you. Cheers!!!
Not much to see did not find very interesting lot of castles churches gardens are lot more beautiful
Hello, Amit! I hope you are all well, now enjoying the central/southern region of Portugal. Thank you for your comment, which like others, helps us improve our services and content. Regarding your review, in fact, we do not understand your displeasure, or even if this comment is directed at us... On the day of this tour, your group was happy and satisfied. I even added a short itinerary to the city of Guimarães to this visit (which normally only focuses on Braga), and I left you, as you asked, on the waterfront of the city of Porto with some tips and suggestions, since you still didn't knew the areas and it was your last day in the city. Everything so that you could feel good and make the best of the time remaining in the late afternoon! I understand that grey or rainy days can take away some of the charm of the places we visit, but the castles, palaces, gardens, noble residences, medieval, Roman or more contemporary legacy, landscape and nature, make Braga a very complete and diverse city in content. Happy holidays, Ricardo Costa
Ricardo was a wonderful guide, very friendly and knowledgeable. A very comfortable drive to some of the most beautiful places in Portugal. Never felt rushed and had as much time as we needed to enjoy each stop. Ricardo even went out of his way to give us opportunities for fun activities with our children. Made for some good memories. Highly recommend this tour.
Hi Luis! Thank you so much for your kind words. I'am glad that you all had a memorable day in the town of Braga. I also have kids as you know, so I understand that a (big) part of our daily plan has to involve them. And in reality, this is how it works for all of us, in different ways and with different objectives :) A big hug to you and your beautiful family! Thanks
Braga is a beautiful city with a lot of incredible history. The day of our tour was filled with rain, and there was only one other couple so our guide Ricardo proposed that we cut short the trip to Braga and add in some time at Guimaraes which we all quickly agreed to. To start, we took a walk through town looking at a lot of the historical buildings, churches, and other sites. Like much of Portugal there is a mix of medieval and new, and the rain didn’t dampen the impact of what we saw. We also went up to the Bom Jesus sanctuary, which is beautiful from the bottom of the staircase as is the view from the top looking out over the town. After this we stopped in at a small local restaurant for lunch and then moved on to Guimaraes. It is considered the birthplace of Portugal, with the expected number of churches and castles related to the first king of the country. There are several beautiful gardens in the city, plus more views from the top of the hill. Even without the off-schedule trip to Guimaraes, this tour would have been worth it. Ricardo is very personable and knowledgeable, and made for a very entertaining day.
Hi Blair! I'm very happy to see that you enjoyed the day we spent together. In fact, when we have rain/bad weather it always removes some charm to what we see, and therefore I always try to point the visit to places where we can be more "protected" or visit the attractions in a comfortable way. Thank you for your kind words and report. It was a pleasure to accompany and guide you! Until your return!
