A trip to Braga, Portugal with good friends

🎉A trip to Braga, Portugal with a good friend🎉 ✨Recently, I went to Braga, Portugal with a good friend. It was really an amazing travel experience! I can't help but share it with you 😉 🌆【City Impression】 Braga is a city full of historical charm in northern Portugal, known as the "Rome of Portugal". Walking on the streets, it seems as if you can travel through time and space and feel the glory of ancient Rome. 🕌【Must-visit attractions】 - Braga Cathedral: This cathedral built in the 12th century is the first cathedral in Portugal. The church combines a variety of architectural styles, with the Baroque style being the most prominent. The parents of Portugal's first king are buried there, and the Treasury Museum also houses precious artifacts, such as the cross used when the first mass was held in Brazil. - Sanctuary of Bom Jesus do Monte: It is an iconic attraction of Braga. Located on the slopes of Mount Espino, the main building is in Baroque style. The "Via Dolorosa" and the famous "Five Senses Steps" leading to the church are composed of walls, stairs, fountains, sculptures, etc., as if telling religious stories. - Sameiro Sanctuary: This is an important place for worshiping the Virgin Mary. From here you can see a panoramic view of the whole city. The architectural style is unique and the surrounding environment is very peaceful and tranquil. 🍽【Food Experience】 - Narcisa-style or Minho-style cod: As one of the famous Portuguese dishes, Braga's cod has a unique flavor, tender meat, and a variety of cooking methods. - Roasted lamb: The lamb is roasted to a crispy outside and tender inside, with a strong aroma. Paired with local vegetables, the taste is simply amazing. - Abbot of Brisegus Pudding: The combination of caramel pudding and bacon is very novel, with a sweet and salty interweaving and a rich taste. 💃【Nightlife】 The University of Minho brings vitality to the city. In the evening, I went to experience the nightlife of the university town with my good friends. The bars and clubs were full of laughter, and the various music and dances made people immersed in it. 📸【Travel Tips】 - You can learn some history and culture knowledge of Braga online in advance, so that you will gain more when visiting the attractions. - When tasting delicious food, don’t miss the local specialty restaurants. Although they may not be very eye-catching, the taste is absolutely authentic. - Braga's public transportation is quite convenient. If you want to go to distant attractions, you can choose to take a bus or cable car. All in all, the trip to Braga with good friends was full of surprises and touching moments💕. The history, culture, food and beautiful scenery here are unforgettable. I strongly recommend everyone to come to Braga to experience its unique charm! 🎉
