Located in the northwest of Portugal close to Galicia, Braga (the baroque capital of Portugal) is a modern town with over twenty centuries of well documented history. Braga is one of the youngest cities in Europe in terms of population, thus being rather dynamic and energetic and having a lively cultural and social life. Scientific and technological entrepreneurship is another trade mark of the region.

we are looking forward to welcome you in Braga next Spring!
