Braga hotels – For the beautiful Minho region
Braga is the capital of the Minho region, a short drive north from Oporto airport. Many consider Minho the most beautiful region in Portugal, and hotels in Braga make an excellent base for exploring its beautiful river valleys, charming rural villages, atmospheric historic market towns, and largely unspoilt coastline. Braga city centre hotels are good for Braga’s surprisingly lively and varied nightlife, excellent restaurants and wonderful 19th century cafes. A fine alternative to Braga city hotels are the charming and distinctively upmarket hotels near Braga in the hilltop pilgrimage site of Bom Jesus Do Monte.
