In 2 hours and 2 kilometres, you’ll journey through 900 years of Portuguese history without even realizing it. This self-guided audio tour starts at the Arco da Porta Nova, the arch that never had a gate, and end at the red velvet of the Theatro Circo, the most beautiful theatre in the north.
In between, you’ll step inside the country’s oldest cathedral. You’ll drink from the fountain that saved the city from cholera. You’ll sit in Braga’s most photographed garden, which hides a wall charred by fire. You’ll walk down the avenue where grandparents used to meet while walking in opposite circles. And you’ll try the Frigideira, the secret pastry from 1790 that’s made only here and is a must-try if you come to Braga.
Baroque, sacred, revolutionary, and human. That's Braga. Come and discover it with this self-guided audio tour!
