Braga is the biggest city in Portugal outside Porto and Lisbon area, and is the fastest growing city in the north. Is not part of metropolitan Porto, is part of Minho region, a region with nearly 1 milion habitant distributed by a lot of cities like Guimarães, Barcelos, Famalicão, Viana do Castelo etc.. and Braga is the capital and biggest city of this region. Minho is the place of the first portugal kings(The 1º portugal king mothers is suppulted in Braga cathedral), medival castles, simillarities with galicia, and basicly the portuguese culture was born in Minho. Braga was known as Bracara Augusta in Roman times, we have a lot of roman building, some you can visit and others are in work, also there are museums that show this history of the oldest city in portugal. And yeh Sporting Clube the Braga is the 4º biggest club in Portugal even tho we never won a the title, Braga enter in the Champions League because we finished 3º last season haed of Sporting, and to celebrate the club put these decorations around the city. Great video btw, is allways good to see the city with more and more tourists :)
Thats my favourite city in all the world!
Interesting place! Not really on the tourist trail for Americans but I will definitely add it to my Portugal bucket list.
Thank you! It's on now on my itinerary🤺
Great video! Never heard of Braga before but looks like an interesting place!
Same here. Most TH-camrs I’ve seen just go to Lisbon, so nice to see somewhere different.
Toured Portugal in March 2024
Braga was for me the most beautiful city
