Braga, located in the north of Portugal, is one of the country's oldest cities, founded more than two thousand years ago and becoming an important centre of religious worship during the Middle Ages. Today, Braga boasts a lively university scene and a wide range of tourist attractions. In addition to the Portas de Braga and the Sé de Braga Cathedral, visitors can explore the Sanctuary of Bom Jesus do Monte, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, or enjoy a stroll through the Garden of Santa Bárbara and the Biscainhos Museum.
