4K video of a day spent in Braga Portugal.

Braga is a city and a municipality in the northwestern Portuguese district of Braga, in the historical and cultural Minho Province. It is one of the oldest cities in Portugal and the third-largest urban centre after Lisbon and Porto.

In a stroll around the historic centre you can visit some of the many churches, Braga’s Cathedral (the oldest in the country) admire the houses and historical buildings, such as the Palácio do Raio or the Arco da Porta Nova

In the outskirts of Braga you must see the Bom Jesus Sanctuary, a city icon, with its monumental staircase. Amid an expanse of greenery, it offers an excellent panoramic view of the city, as do the nearby Nossa Senhora do Sameiro Sanctuary.

Outside the historic centre, São Martinho de Tibães Monastery also warrants a visit for their beauty and historical significance.


Built more than 2,000 years ago, “Bracara Augusta” was, as the name indicates, founded by Augustus; it was located on one of the main Roman roads in the Iberian Peninsula since it was the administrative seat of the Empire, and later given the status of capital of the Roman province of Gallaecia, present-day Galicia, by Emperor Caracalla. The Braga Diocese is the oldest in Portugal and, in the Middle Ages, the city even competed with Santiago de Compostela in power and importance. One of the Camiños de Santiago passed through here when this pilgrimage cult grew with the Christian reconquest and the foundation of Portugal.
