One of the things that I found the most difficult before moving to Braga Portugal was getting a sense of the size of the city. Now living in Braga I wanted to share my experience and take you guys along to get a feel for this one aspect of expat life in Portugal. For those of you considering a move to Braga, don’t worry I plan to show other parts of the city in the future. In this expat vlog episode of Not Your Average Globetrotter, I wanted to bring you along with me to see some of the central areas within the city of Braga Portugal and also to show that even being not directly in the center of the town gives you easy access to the center of the city. If you have any questions about living in Portugal or general topics about being an expat in Portugal, let me know in the comments section below, and I may be able to cover it in a future video.

Thanks for the tour. Love the park with all the 💐
Was in Braga this past March – such a treat to watch your videos and relive the routes! There is definitely a lot of walking. Lovely.
Falling in love with Braga based on your videos! However also looking forward to your explorations of other nearby locations when you have time for some travel other than Lisbon and Porto, as we decide where to land when we move to Portugal.
Awesome walk-n-talk video, Raf! I always love these, it's like you are out for a walk with us
Love your walkabout! Will be coming over in March for a scouting trip. Curious about what the giant gray boxes with a door toward the top. Garbage? Recycling? Compost? Thanks, Rafeal for giving me a better sense of the city.
great video
It’s such a nice city. I will for sure visit next year.
Great news from Braga as always 🙂 btw. Maybe you should take, a ride on bike with camera to show us how we can ride there… unfortunately don't see too many bike paths there and you are right cars have too many privileges in such a small and narrow streets. And there should definitely be more restrictions up to 30 km.
Love your walkabouts Rafael. Braga looks beautiful. 👌 The flowers and colours are stunning 😍 A very interesting looking place. Thank you
Braga is a city with good structure, but with the charm of a small and old town. Even so, it is considered the city with the youngest population in Portugal. The city is quite safe, has several festivals and cultural events throughout the year. I would choose an apartment in neighborhoods outside the Historic Center. This is a region with older properties, no elevator and no garage. I prefer "freguesias" like Nogueiró, Fraião and Lamaçães. They are more structured places, with newer buildings, good infrastructure (schools, banks, commerce in general) that are still less than 5 km from the city center. If you want to look for the property, I recommend the Idealista and Imovirtual websites.
Thanks for the experience, I found you early in the Pandemic Lockdowns and found your Italian content comforting. I've spent about a month each year in Italy, although I have no interest in moving there… It was a nice way to experience my love for Italy. Best of luck in your move to Braga, but I'm no longer interested in the content. So arrivederci Ravi.
Thanks, Rafael, so much for this video. I was just in Braga for the day while visiting Porto, about 3 weeks ago. I found Braga to be quite pleasing. I simply need a peaceful place that's quiet at night. I'd love to have a small piece of ground for garden and a dog. Even a "casa em banda," or duplex. I need to go back again to check out moradias, and quintas too. I thought Porto was to busy, and noisey. My bairro in São Domingos de Benfica (Lisboa) is more quiet than Porto. And, BTW: In comparison to Porto & Lisaoa, Braga is "f l a t." LOL… Well…. flat enough for me, but I don't mind hills either. Cheers!
This is really neat!
Thanks
You’re awesome man! You must have read my mind as I planned to walk the same (or nearby) streets as part of our trip to Braga this September. I thought a walk from the train station to Braga Parque would be too much but you’ve shown it can be done…except for the gradual hill on the train station side of your walk. 🥵 Our AirBnb place is right at about 25:15. Picked this spot since it appeared to be near residential areas within walking distance of the historic center! We’ll take your advice and also explore the east side of Braga Parque. Also considering the areas near the Parque Rodovia. 🚴 Always appreciate your videos. ♥️
Great video, enjoyed the tour!
Thanks for the tour. Really enjoyed it. What would an average 1 bedroom apt cost near the stores and parks? Not high end, just average apt. that is decent and safe.
Obrigado, enjoyed it
