Located in northern Portugal, Braga is one of the country’s oldest cities and its third-largest urban centre, after Lisbon and Porto. Often referred to as the “Rome of Portugal”, Braga is renowned for its deep religious heritage, impressive baroque architecture, and centuries-old traditions balanced by a young, dynamic population shaped by its universities and growing innovation scene.
With roots dating back over 2,000 years, Braga has evolved from a Roman settlement into a modern city that successfully blends history, faith, culture, and contemporary life.
