Things to do in Braga

Bom Jesus do Monte is a notable sanctuary and pilgrimage site situated on a hill in the outskirts of Braga, a historic city in northern Portugal. Inscribed in 2019 as a UNESCO world heritage site, the sanctuary is completely accessible to the public and does not charge any entrance fee. The most iconic feature of the sanctuary is the monumental Baroque stairway leading to the Church of Bom Jesus do Monte. We took a taxi which send us to the church directly we so skipped climbing up the 577 steps on the 116-metre stairway. Instead we walked down the stairway after visiting the sanctuary complex. An alternative way to reach the church is by taking the water-powered funicular. The fee is 2 euros for a one-way journey and 3 euros for a round trip.

It has beautiful scenery, convenient transportation and a long history.

It's not a large shopping mall, but it has a food court and a large supermarket.

Guimarães was once the capital of Portugal, and this castle was once the residence of the royal family. Although the 11th-century castle cannot be compared with many European castles in terms of magnificence, the quaint castle and medieval style are still unforgettable. It is recommended that friends who have reserved enough time to visit Portugal can go and see it, half a day is enough to play it.
