2 things to see
Braga is Portugal’s religious capital with a spectacular hilltop Bom Jesus sanctuary, a lively old town, and student-friendly prices in the many cafes and restaurants. Climbing the baroque Bom Jesus stairway and wandering the historic center cost nothing, and the student crowd keeps food and drink cheap. It sits a short, cheap train ride from Porto and pairs naturally with nearby Guimaraes, making a low-cost northern triangle.
