Day Trips from Porto to Braga

16 tours · €50.15–€151 per person · ★ 4.8

Braga sits an easy run north of Porto, which makes a guided Braga tour from Porto one of the simplest day trips to book. Let the driver-guide handle the route and you get the city plus a couple of neighbours without renting a car or working out timetables.

When you compare tours, check what else is on the itinerary. We'd look for Bom Jesus do Monte with its baroque stairway, the old cathedral and the city's Roman side, and most full-day excursions pair Braga with medieval Guimarães next door. If you'd rather swap a stop, some tours head to the coast at Viana do Castelo, horseback riding included. Private tours let you set the pace; small-group day trips from Porto keep the cost down, and most come with hotel pickup.

16 Braga tours from €50. Private and small-group, full-day with hotel pickup and free cancellation on most - easy to book online.

Planning a trip to Porto

Best time to visit

Porto is at its best in late spring (May to June) and early autumn (September to October), with mild weather and the Douro looking its finest just before and after the summer rush. Summer is warm and lively; winters are cool and damp but atmospheric and cheap.

Getting there & around

Francisco Sá Carneiro Airport (OPO) sits about 30 minutes from the centre by metro. The old town and riverside Ribeira are best explored on foot (expect hills and steps), with the metro, trams and short taxis for longer distances. Douro Valley trips usually include pickup.
