What Braga's essential walks cover, by day and after dark

A first walk through the "Rome of Portugal"

Braga's essential tours are not all the same walk, and their titles show the range. One promises the historic centre, the traditions and the secrets of what it calls the Rome of Portugal. Another sets out at sunset and keeps going after dark, while others announce the city's history and culture or simply its essentials.
