Travel to Braga, Portugal

Braga is a small city, people there are fine, kind and helpful, they are fine with what they have, and happy because so many tourists visit their beautiful city. The architecture of the buildings is amazing as in Porto, and the weather was wonderful that day.

Food and drinks :

When I visited Braga was Ramadan time, and as Muslim I didn’t eat all the day, and after sunset I had the first meal in a good restaurant (chicken, salad, French fries, juice) the price of it was 8 euros,

How much cost one day in Braga :

I spent just one day in Braga, the price train ticket 2 ways was 6.40 euros, and around 2 euros for one way to go by bus to Bon Jesus, so adding the meal after sunset and a coffee and the ride with the small boat in Bom Jesus (2.5 euros per person), one day in Braga costed to me around 12 euros

Braga Romana festival :

I get lucky because when I visited Braga was during the days of (Braga Romana festival). I saw so many things in this culture, and there were some traditional Romanian culture, like theatre for kids, and some witch who told you about your future, some men having amazing huge birds (eagles, owls, etc.…) and some women selling an insect in small cages (Funny !!!!). So many people were wearing Romanian traditional clothes, I will let the pictures below explains more.

Places i visited :
I visited so many places in Braga city, churches and wonderful gardens as in the following pictures, I liked the story of Santa Cruz Church (The cock's church) which said that If you don't find two cock’s between the Graphics of the church wall, you won't get married (but I did :D ), but the most Important place to visit in Braga is Bom Jesus, it’s an amazing place which have a wonderful architecture and showing the all story of how Jesus was killed.

Bom Jesus :
The most important place in Braga is Bom Jesus; I saw the story of killing Jesus step by step, from the first stairs to the top of it, and they are so many statues of water going out from eyes, ears, mouth, heart…. Of the statues, and in the end there is a church near to some amazing places like this small cave with its garden as shown in the picture below.

Finally, we went to the final place of Bom Jesus, when there are small boats, then we get a ride with it in this small river, it was a really amazing day, especially because we had friends studying in Braga, who showed us everything we must see and most important places in Braga.
