The dating scene in Braga

Braga is one of Portugal's oldest cities, a religious and historic centre in the Minho region that is also surprisingly young thanks to the University of Minho. The city has a growing tech sector, a lively café culture and a strong sense of tradition. Dating is relaxed and sociable, often centred on coffee, petiscos and evenings in the historic centre. Locals are friendly and family-minded, and the surrounding green countryside makes outdoor dates easy.
