Bom Jesus Funicular - A UNESCO World Heritage site since 2019, this set of stairways and basilica creates an impressive sight and detail that is worth the visit.
This is another vortex of the faith triangle that stands about 6km from the city center and offers a great view of the city and a chance to connect with nature. - Sanctuary of Our Lady of Sameiro - The 3rd vortex of the triangle of faith stands in the highest part of the hill next to Braga. From there we can get an astonishing 360º view. Adding to that, we will discover all the history and heritage since the 18th-century foundation and all the mystical surrounding area.
- Mosteiro de Sao Martinho de Tibaes - A wonderful architectural complex from the 17th century, including the church, cross, former monastery/museum, and stunning vast gardens.

Braga - Braga holds the title of “Portuguese Rome”. This is due to the fact that it has the largest number of religious buildings per square meter.
