Braga

Braga, located in northern Portugal, is a dynamic city with a rich history and a modern edge. As the third-largest urban area in the country (population 201,583 as of 2023), it blends a strong cultural heritage – dating back to Roman times as Bracara Augusta – with a growing reputation as a tech and entrepreneurial hub.

Today, Braga offers a compelling mix for digital nomads. It’s a key transport node for the region, an important stop on the Camino de Santiago (the Portuguese Way), and boasts a lively atmosphere. Beyond its historical sites like the Braga Castle, the city is increasingly known for innovation and provides a more affordable cost of living compared to Lisbon or Porto.
