Braga is the most important town in the Minho Province of northern Portugal, with origins in the Roman settlement of Bracara Augusta, founded in 20 BC, and a nickname that stuck: the Portuguese Rome. Its history, culture and traditions are easy to follow on foot, from the Baroque and Neoclassical Arco da Porta Nova to a cathedral that mixes Gothic and Baroque.
The free tour starts at the Arco da Porta Nova, lasts between two hours fifteen minutes and two and a half hours, and is guided in English. Booking costs nothing, and at the end you tip the guide as much or as little as you feel it was worth.

- Only the guide is included in the booking: visits inside the monuments are not part of the tour, so plan separately if you want to go in.
