Braga is one of Portugal’s most beautiful cities and the third-largest city in Portugal. Considered one of the youngest European cities it’s packed to the brim with history and culture, of which the most famous is probably Bom Jesus do Monte - a World Heritage site by UNESCO, perfect for those in search of a small historical city.

It is located a just 40 minutes car ride from Porto International Airport and 60 minutes from Vigo's International Airport. 10 minutes away from the main highway that serves Braga (A3) and close to the Atlantic Ocean.
