The Sanctuaries of Bom Jesus & Sameiro
Who says Braga, says Bom Jesus Do Monte. A visit to this iconic place, which is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site, should not be missed when you are in Braga. We make the trip up via the 573 stairs. But don’t worry, there is so much to see along the way that you will reach the top before you know it.
We walk through the beautifully maintained domain and then towards the highest point of Braga, to the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Sameiro.
A beautiful hiking trail through the woods leads us from one sanctuary to another.
The views along the way are breathtaking. And with a bit of luck (and clear weather) we can see the reflection of the sun in the ocean on the horizon!
Along the way we take time to have a drink, to relax and enjoy some local delicacies.
Back at Bom Jesus we go down with the more than 140 year old hydraulic funicular train.
