This week I wanted to start talking about what it’s like living in Braga, Portugal and compare and contrast it to what it’s like living in Lisbon as well as to what it’s like living in Porto. But, this week there also happens to be a festival here where I live in Braga, a festiva called Braga Romana celebrating the roman roots of this Portuguese city. In this episode of Not Your Average Globetrotter, we’ll not only check out this local festival but also talk about what factors to take into consideration when moving to Portugal. Many digital nomads think about going to a place like Lisbon to maximize on everything the city has to offer, but even a smaller city like Braga still also has plenty to offer. But is it right for you? We’ll also briefly talk about the cost of living in Portugal as well as safety and security.

I am a Brazilian living in NYC, but moving to Braga in August. I may confess I am kind of nervous, but your video made me feel excited about it instead! Thank you and congrats for such an amazing work. I am glad I found you here!
Thanks for another informative walking tour. I'm really enjoying learning more about Portugal. Hope to visit there one day. Also, hope you had a good birthday!
Another fun and informative video Rafi. Definitely agree that a smaller city can offer all you might need without the stress and craziness of a large city. Looks like Braga has a good mix of everything and glad to see you are enjoying it. Thanks for taking us around. We really love the "out and abouts."
These walkabouts are great. Braga looks awesome in the sunshine.
Thanks for this video….thanks especially for talking about lgbtq couples in Braga. As part of a same-gender couple, this is always one thing I’m interested in. And happy birthday!
This was one of the best! Thank you.
Great video. Braga looks beautiful. I’ll visit soon. I decided with euro value to dollar and I believe the area I chose will increase in value (researched and on the ground visits) , I am buying a place in Italy. You’re right, now is time to buy.
I love your considerations. Indeed, Braga is a great city to live in!
Braga has a smaller crowd of people compared to throngs of tourists in Rome or Venice or Milan at the same time of year. It is just so crowded in those places that I can't enjoy myself when people are pushed up against me or bumping into me on a really busy street. I either have to go on a shoulder season or find a place out in the country to stay away from the crowds. (Or just go to Braga!) As for Braga, how big and/or crowded is the center of the city and the outskirts, compared to any of the cities in Italy? Would it even be as busy or less busy as Merano?
Thanks a lot for making another outdoor video!
Fantastic videos and insider’s perspective on Braga! Obrigado!
My kind of city… I am loving your outdoor videos. Thanks!
Always like it when you take a stroll.
Parabéns, feliz aniversário
Another great video about Braga. Love your walking about and comparisons with other PT cities. Braga is on our list so appreciate your comparisons immensely. 🙏🏻 Question: Like you, we prefer to NOT have a car immediately…maybe in the future. Until then, are there flat/walkable residential areas near the downtown pedestrian areas? Obrigado e Grazie. 👍🏻
Parabéns a você!
Lovely video. Like all your videos when you’re out and about. Thank you!
cara…o tens de vir a Matosinhos antes de que acabe a festa
Great city walk! It was realy intresting 😊
I'll be there in October for a musical festival called Semibreve. Can't wait to check out the city.
