Uncrowded European city two hours away where a glass of wine costs £1.70
The lesser-known city is rich in history and ideal for a quick break in Europe if you're travelling on a budget. Many of Europe's favourite holiday destinations have seen growing backlash to the unsustainable amount of tourists received each year. Not only is it unenjoyable for local residents, crowds and increased prices aren't all that fun for holidaymakers either. There's no shortage of European cities to explore, and while Paris, Barcelona or Venice might be hard to beat, that doesn't mean lesser-known destinations should be overlooked. Plus, venturing off the beaten track often means you get more for your money, and don't have to spend hours in queues waiting to visit attractions or sit down for a meal. Portugal, a country adored by many Brits and boasting some of the world's most stunning beaches and cities, welcomes an impressive influx of tourists each year and many flock to well-known cities like Lisbon and Porto. It's also the reason both cities are witnessing a growing backlash against tourism, and even the island of Madeira has recently addressed the issue. But Portugal is also home to a lesser-known city that was even named Europe's Emerging Tourism Destination at the World Travel Awards, often dubbed the Oscars of the tourism industry. Situated just an hour north of Porto, Braga is a historically rich city often described as the Rome of Portugal thanks to its religious roots. Originally a Roman city named Bracara Augusta, this underrated city welcomed just 639,000 visitors in 2024, but that doesn't mean it hasn't got plenty on offer for tourists. Home to the oldest cathedral in the country, Braga Cathedral, it's considered an important religious site that's also known as the City of Bells, with 30 churches located in the city. Its most famous site, the Sanctuary of Bom Jesus do Monte is a listed UNESCO World Heritage site, complete with an elaborate baroque stairway and view overlooking the city. In a piece for The Independent, Matt Dennis revealed that during his recent visit to Braga, he enjoyed a glass of Vinho Verde, a wine native to northwest Portugal, for a mere £1.70. Braga offers a refreshing, and affordable, escape from the throngs of tourists that flock to Lisbon and Porto, both of which welcomed over 5 million visitors last year. The walkable city centre, steeped in rich history including Roman ruins, is dotted with Baroque palaces and charming plazas, perfect for leisurely exploration on foot. Reaching Braga is straightforward - fly into Porto from most UK airports with Ryanair, easyJet or British Airways offering direct flights. A return flight in September can be as cheap as £21, with the weather still comfortably warm at around 20C. For those who prefer not to drive, a transfer from Porto to Braga costs approximately £6 and takes about 40 minutes, with several bus operators providing direct services from the airport.
