How did you like the first post about Braga? The views from the Bom Jesus are just breathtaking, imo. Oh, in case you missed it, here you are: Click Here
Today, I would like to show you a bit of what we saw while walking km’s and km’s through the streets of Braga. We had no route planned, only a touristic map from the city center, so basically, we tried to see as much as we could, without killing ourselves from walking. Well… that was a close call! whaha 😉 #dramamoment
The city center still has many old (but renovated) buildings, with nice architecture. I am a big fan of such cities; it makes the more charismatic and also more inviting. I personally don’t like modern buildings (NYC is an exception!), and in that sense, Braga was a winner.
Like many other towns in the northern part of Portugal, Braga has many churches and palaces; if I look at the map, I count:
- 10 churches
- 1 Sé
- 2 palaces
and some other important buildings.

These are the places where we had dinners, but there are plenty more. We were very happy with our meals, so I recommend them in case you are ever in Braga.
Taberna do Migaitas (here we had a MARVELOUS goatling prepared in the oven… I almost cried!)
Domus Vinum: nice wine house with large wine selection, but they also serve cocktails.
Spirito Cupcakes & Coffee: the name says it all! Buuuut, they have amazing ice-cream over there. A must stop if you ask me.
Bacalhau à Portuguesa @ Café Vianna |
The best ice-cream in town @ Spirito |
Cabrito assado – the one that almost made me cry |
sweets at the best pastry place in town: TÃbias de Braga |
And that was it; Braga treated us very well and we were super happy to have visited this town. It has been on “the places to visit in Portugal” list for a very long time; check! 🙂
If you have the chance, please stop go and visit Braga yourself!
Up next: Guimarães!

Em resposta à tua pergunta, até agora só experimentei as sombras e o eyeliner uma vez mas gostei!
