Another nice street where you can take a walk is Rua do Souto. This is the main shopping street of the historical center of the city. Along the way, you can enjoy the magnificent views, wander into a cafe or restaurant where you can have great and tasty food, go further and enjoy sightseeing. Be sure to visit Bom Jesus do Monte. You can climb the funicular or the stairs so as to enjoy the incredible beauty of the building and Mount Espinho. It is worth pointing out that the place has its own mystical atmosphere.
There are interesting fountains in Braga, and some of them are particularly impressive. There is, for instance, the Fonte do Campo das Hortas, which was originally built in the 16th century but was only installed on the Campo das Hortas in 1914. It was built in the baroque style. It is worth stating that the square itself deserves attention – even if it is not so noisy and fun here, this is precisely what makes it attractive, and you can sit in peace and quiet, without thinking about anything. The atmosphere that reigns here is unique – the rhythmical sound of the bell, and the quiet fountains. One more fountain Fonte do Ídolo is located in another part of the historic city, on Rua do Raio. It is remarkable that this monument of antiquity is preserved in the best possible condition above all others. It is believed that its construction dates back to the first century A.D, during the reign of Emperor Augustus.
