It is the oldest cathedral in Portugal. Personally I liked very little both inside and outside. Few things to see and the exhibition path badly organized.

The Cathedral in Braga is nowhere near as ornate as some of the other churches and from the outside looks more like a fortress than a place of worship. Individual entry fees are charged for almost all areas except the courtyard and some tombs or you can pay €5 to visit the entire church. Personally I found it a bit underwhelming although it might have been more interesting if I had been prepared to pay the €5.…
