- EpicuriousMABoston, MA46 contributionsFor 3 euros round trip got to ride the quaint funicular up to a beautiful location with great views of Braga.

- C & K G7 contributionsThis is a beautiful cathedral. It was even better than we expected. We wish we could have spent more time there.Written 3 January 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Alice H3 contributionsThe beautiful Mountain View was from Hoko Sushi bar in Braga. We learnt from google that there is a sanctuary. What a beautiful surprise when we got there. The Sanctuary Of Our Lady Of Sameiro is beautiful. The views surrounding this sanctuary are gorgeous. Not to mention the sunset. We were lucky to have clear blue skies. The drive up is beautiful. The energetic ones can hike to the top. You can cycle to the place too. So if you are visiting the North enter this in your diary. Portugal is special. Surprises are never too far away and some need not be planned for.Written 18 February 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We were able to go into the church, the gardens, 3 stories of history that was all restored! Totally worth the 4 euros. We were there for 3 hrs. People were super nice!Written 28 July 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- letsdrinkwineCambridge, UK144 contributionsIt is a rather large and central square, which gets quite crowded and there's not much to do there but some medieval buildings on it have quite interesting history and architecture making it worth visiting.Written 8 June 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Ramón L1 contributionAmazing experience where we were able to visit different areas of the stadium.
Amazing stadium and our guide was really niceWritten 27 December 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

As well as the main house, there are stables, large formal gardens and lovely statuary. The house itself is really well preserved with a wealth of original features and has lots of furniture on display although it is not set up as it would have been when it was occupied by nobility. The furniture is chiefly gifts from wealthy benefactors. It follows a set route finishing with a visit to the kitchen and stables before providing the opportunity to wander around the formal gardens.
Remarkable value at just €2 to enter. At present part of the gardens are sectioned off as refurbishment work is ongoing but there is still plenty to see.Written 7 January 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Splendid baroque interior!Written 8 June 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Hugh DLondon, UK64 contributionsNice looking portico with lots of cafes and shops nearby, would be perfect without the main road/roadworks being around it.Written 30 July 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Hugh DLondon, UK64 contributionsLovely exterior is supplemented by an interesting exhibition inside with lots of detail on the palace which was great value for money (it cost me 1 euro as I am a student).Written 30 July 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
