  1. Se de Braga
    1h · Admission ticket included
    Our journey beggins with a visit to Braga´s Sé Cathedral. The constructtion was ordered by Teresa de Leão (Portugal's fist king mother) back on the XI century. So we can say, it's the oldest, and no doubt one of the prettiest!
    We will make a guided visit on the Main church, Piedade chapel and external areas in the 1st vortex of the triangle of faith.
    As optional is possible the full guided visit to all chapels aggregate to the cathedral and the choir/museum.
  2. Bom Jesus Funicular
    1h
    World Heritage by UNESCO since 2019, this set of stairway and basilica create an impressive sight and detail that whorth the visit.
    This is another vortex of the faith triangle that stands about 6km from the city center and gives you a great view for the city and contact with the nature.
  3. Sanctuary of Our Lady of Sameiro
    1h
    The 3rd vortex of the triangle of faith stands in the highest part of the hill next to Braga. From there we can get an astonishing 360º view. Adding to that, we will discover all the history and heritage since the XVIII century foundation and all mystical surrounding area.
  4. Mosteiro de Sao Martinho de Tibaes
    2h · Admission ticket included
    Wonderful architectural complex from the 17th century, including the church, cross, former monastery/museum and stunning vast gardens.
  5. Braga
    2h
    Braga holds the title of "Portuguese Rome". This is due to the fact that it has the largest number of religious buildings per square meter.
    We weren't able to visit all of them, but we will pass by some of the most notable ones in its historic center.
