Beautiful and peaceful place with views of the surrounding area. Mostly with fewer or spread out tourists over a fairly large place
The Sanctuary Of Our Lady Sameiro is the second Marian Sanctuary in Portugal. It is an attraction for thousands of pilgrims, tourists and visitors all year ...
My Fiance and I are looking forward to getting married at this beautiful Marian Sanctuary come August. Gorgeous views of Braga city and a very holy and welcoming place.
The church is beautiful but it’s the views of Braga and surrounding areas that make this place so incredible. The grounds are lovely with a nice walking path to and from Bom Jesus. Public bathrooms are available but they are not well maintained.
Nicht ganz so bekannt und beworben wie des etwas unterhalb liegende Bom Jesus do Monte. Deshalb ist hier viel weniger los und man hat etwas mehr Ruhe. Die Aussicht auf Braga ist wunderbar. Parkplätze sind genügend vorhanden.
Very nice church, both inside and outside. Free entrance. Peaceful time spent here and great views of the entire region.
As someone mentioned here, it's best to come here by bus from Braga (line 88 I think) and then walk to the nearby gorgeous Bom Jesus through serene woodlands (follow Google Maps directions by foot). You'll find yourself right at the top of the stairs!

Oh this place is so worth to visit just for the sunset alone. It is really magnificent. It is also good for a walk and you have many great views of the cities and landscape from above. Just like Bom Jesus this is a must see if you are in Braga or close. You have multiple places to sit down and relax in this quiet place and I believe there is also a restaurant or bar at the site if you get hungry (closes late afternoon). When I visited there was some exposition downstairs.
