Must do if visiting Braga!

Published on Dec, 2024

Our walking tour with Cristiane was definitely the highlight of our time in Braga! If you are visiting the city you should definitely take a tour with her company, either the walking tour or food tour! We don’t think we would have appreciated the city as much as we did if it wasn’t for this tour. Cristiane did an amazing job of bringing the long history of Braga to life through the stops in the old city while also sharing the culture of current Braga so we got a complete understanding of the city. We really loved the tour and appreciated getting a local historical perspective. The tour was the perfect length of 3 hours to get acquainted to the city and you still have most of the day free to explore more on your own.
