Car Rental in Braga

Family car rental in Braga

The segments of standard, intermediate and full-size cars in Portugal traditionally include the following vehicles: Audi A4, Volvo V50, Honda Accord, Audi A3, Toyota Avensis, Mazda 6 and others.

The process of a car reservation on OrangeSmile.com consists of 3 simple steps: (1) search by the dates and pick-up location, (2) car type selection, and (3) booking form completion. After the booking, you will receive a rental voucher at your e-mail address.

Before selecting a specific model to book, check your planned routes. If you are going to drive mostly within the Braga borders, choose a car of 'Standard' or 'Compact' types. In case you plan long cross-countries trips or mountain adventures, the more comfortable and powerful 'Fullsize' models would become a better choice.

If you need a car with an automatic gearbox, try to make a reservation at least a few days before the pick-up date, since confirmation of such models in Braga might be delayed for a day or two.

Upon the return of your car, carefully check that the total payment amount (invoice) is computed according to the original rental conditions.

We wish you 'smooth', secure and safe roads in Braga!

You should start your observing of the town from the cathedral that is surrounded by a picturesque park. This is one of the most beautiful buildings of the whole country. Its creation lasted over two hundred years and finished in the end of the 13th century. The facades of this building are decorated by ancient frescos and sculptures featuring saints. Step inside this church and you will be amazed by refined hand-made paintings and mysterious mosaics. A museum is opened on the territory of the cathedral.

The Gardens of Saint Barbara are considered the most beautiful park in Braga.

Among important religious buildings we should also underline the Santa Crus Church, Casa dos Koimbras, the Church of Saint Peter, and the Carmo church.

Apart from historical sites, such as numerous temples and cathedrals, we suggest visiting museums and exhibition halls as among them there are some really interesting ones. You should definitely consider visiting Biscainhos Museum, the Museum of Pius XII, the Nogueira da Silva Museum, and the local photo exhibition. Here you will see large collections of ceramics and china, artifacts found during archeological excavations, and also works of great Portuguese artists and sculptors.
