Home to Portugal's oldest cathedral, the beautiful city of Braga is widely regarded as the country's religious and spiritual center. The city has more than its fair share of spectacular historic and religious buildings, but the highlight is the Bom Jesus do Monte, a massive 18th-century pilgrimage complex that features a magnificent baroque stairway, a funicular, and a wonderful viewpoint. Other architectural and religious highlights include the medieval Braga Cathedral, the Archbishop’s Palace, and the Holy Cross Church, but if you're looking for something different, you can stroll through the Santa Barbara Garden, browse the shops on Avenida da Liberdade, or visit the Biscaínhos Museum.
