Discovering Braga with a local - free walking tour
Tour description
Once upon a time, like you, I was but a stranger in this city, just going about my regular routine, unaware of all the history, stories, and legends that surrounded me. The day I started learning, was the day I realised how little I knew about those things that I'd always taken for granted as just "being there".
If there's one thing I can tell you about history, is that the more you learn, the more you realise how much meaning there is to everything there is around you.
My guarantee to you on this tour is that you'll not only see things, but I'll also attempt to teach you how to notice some of these details; all with a small pinch of humor and a smile.
Some of the key points we will see during this tour are (in no specific order):
- The Cathedral of Braga;
- Gardens of Saint Barbara;
- The old palace of the Archbishops;
- The "Arco da Porta Nova";
- The oldest café in the city;
I will also tell you stories about the city, its past, and its people, as well as tell you about some of the traditions and even food!
Meeting Point: Near the Basilica of Congregados, I'll be wearing a grey shoulder bag with a big "A" in black on it.
