Moving to Portugal can come with many things that have to be taken into account. Choosing where to live in Portugal can be a difficult decision. However, if you’ve decided to consider a move to Braga, Portugal, it is important to understand the layout of the city and where to look for apartments on the map that may suit your needs. Due to the requirements of getting a D7 visa, it can be necessary to rent an apartment, and many people choose to rent an apartment in Braga, without seeing it in person. The hope is that this video can help serve as an overview of living in Braga and direct individuals who have never been to Braga as to what are the differences between the areas and what and where you may find them. Choosing the appropriate area for you is one of the things that can help a person to have a successful transition into expat life in Portugal… but more specifically expat life in Braga, Portugal… In this episode of Not Your Average Globetrotter we’ll take a look at the the map and look at the different parts of Braga Portugal and give you an overview into what you can expect if you decide to move here.

The only mountain dulcimer in Portugal?
Can you do another video like this one for Porto?
very useful, thanks.
Extremely helpful and timely video for me! Been researching the city but it's been difficult to identify neighborhoods. We've just gotten our passports and coming to Braga for a month in January to find a new place to live and retire. Hoping to find something suitable to purchase and then come back to the US and pack. We also want to have a place thats ours when we get there. Your videos have so much practical information that's been very informative and entertaining. I'm starting to learn the language and getting rid of my baseball caps! Your channel is just about my favorite now. Keep up the great work, it is so very much appreciated. Cheers!
The video focused on the Historic Center where you can do many things on foot. However, it is a region of very old buildings (no elevator, parking space and heating system). There are neighborhoods with good infrastructure and newer buildings, such as São Victor, Lamaçães, Fraião and Nogueiró, and you will still be a 30-minute walk to the city center. Such neighborhoods have shopping malls, markets, coffee shops, laundromats, pharmacies, parks, etc.
Muito obrigada! There are more and more YouTube channel about Portugal, but still so few about Braga. I am moving into Vila Verde ( 15km north to Braga) next year. So this is super useful! Maybe some day you can make video about outskirts of Braga. Since many expat family likes to stay smaller town close to big town! Thank you again, and I love your deep voice!
Very helpful video, congrats!! Where did you find the contact of the real estate?
Very helpful video. I never considered Portugal as a place to retire but we fell in love with the North on our last visit. Braga seems to be a good fit for an older American as we are. Porto is fantastic and other worldly but I think Braga would be perfect as it is a short train ride away. Again thanks for all your information.
Very useful! I have been wondering about the noise and activity level in the central area especially because there seems to be a fair every other day throughout the summer. A question for you on buying apartments: Who's responsible for the common areas, and is there a monthly fee to maintain them? I'm especially concerned about apartments in smaller historic remodeled buildings of 3-4 stories.
Great Video Rafa! Come to Belarus & let’s make a video about expat life in Minsk 🇧🇾
Thanks!
We were thinking that Lisbon was where we were going to start off but honestly Braga is more the size we want and more of the climate we like. We're in Portland OR right now and this area of Portugal seems pretty similar climate wise. We'll be spending the day there Nov 17th so that'll give us a better feel for it. Not moving until next Summer.
Why did you leave Italy? Lei sono Italiano 😆. I’m trying to move to Naples in a few years.
