The timeless charms of Portugal extend far beyond the heralded beaches of the Algarve and the hip cultural hubs of Lisbon and Porto. This wonderfully unassuming country is also home to great swathes of luxuriant greenery which extend across much of the north of the country and encompasses a number of natural parks and mountains. It is within such lush surroundings an hour by car from Porto that we find the gentle charms of Braga, an extraordinarily pretty city, home to Portugal's first cathedral, and, with the Parque Nacional Peneda-Gerês in the region, an ideal location to escape from the hustle and bustle and explore the green heart of this gem on the western tip of Europe.
Take a stroll through the centre of Braga and delight in the robin's egg blue of the facade of Palacio du Raio, climb the iconic long staircase of the historic Santuari de Bom Jesus de Monte and take in the welcoming, laid-back ambience of the pretty cafes and restaurants that pepper the tree-lined streets of this underrated holiday destination.
