About Braga
The city of Braga is situated in only about fifty kilometers away from another popular local tourist destination, the city of Porto. Braga is a perfect example of the traditional religious architecture of Portugal of the different styles and eras. The city in general may be divided into two different parts: the Old City with the entrance, represented by the gate of the second half of the XVIII-th century and the new, modern part of Braga. There is no doubt that the best time for visiting Braga is during the Easter, when there is a lot of public events, happening in the city, where it is even possible to take part yourself, which will definitely make your trip to Portugal one of the most memorable travel experiences in your whole life.
The Portuguese city of Braga nowadays is popular all over the world and in the whole country, due to the very large number of the most varied temples, churches and cathedrals that are literally spread just all over the territory of the city and all of its nearest surroundings. The main Cathedral, which is towering abov the whole center of the Old City of Braga was built back in XI-th century (can you even imagine that?!) and is nowadays already ten centuries years old.
