We leave the city of Porto in the morning toward to the city of Braga, once the city of Romans and later "city of archbishops ". Braga is one of the main religious centres of Portugal where you can see the strong predominance of the Baroque. We will discover its main places of worship, particularly the famous Sanctuary of Bom Jesus and Sameiro with its historic centre and green landscapes. This city has earned the title of "Portuguese Rome "! I will show you the Cathedral, a Gothic/Renaissance structure founded in 1070 including one of the three Gothic chapels, Capela dos Reis. Then, we will visit Guimarães, considered the birthplace of Portugal. The place has a magnificent historic centre classified World Heritage by UNESCO (2001) and we will discover the corners of the European capital city of the 2012 Culture!
