Braga is located in the north of Portugal, northeast of Porto. It’s the third largest city in Portugal and is a popular spot to visit for those who like history. The city is home to the oldest cathedral in the country, the Cathedral of Braga. Its construction began in the early 1500s, and it consists of multiple architectural styles, including Gothic and Baroque. It’s also worth visiting Bom Jesus do Monte, a church which sits atop a hill. Its Baroque Sacred Way staircase features 580 stairs, and you’ll be rewarded with stunning views over the city once you reach the top. You can learn more about the city’s history, including its Roman past, at the D. Diogo de Sousa Archaeological Museum. We’ve created a list of our favourite Airbnb vacation rentals in Braga, so continue reading and check out the options.
