A young, eclectic city, a few kilometres from the Peneda-Gerês National Park and where you can enjoy walking. It is in this way that the respected British newspaper The Guardian refers to the city of Braga, "one of the oldest of Portugal", but almost always exchanged in Northern radar of tourists, by the harbour."I went to Barnard because I wanted to find out why this ancient city-a stronghold of the Roman Empire â€" was selected as the European Capital of Youth in 2012", explains journalist Jeanine Barone in the Saturday edition of The Guardian.Due to its large student population and integration in the city of several young Portuguese, Braga has an "eclectic vibe, some lively cultural offerings and the bonus of outdoor adventures at the door, due to its proximity of the Peneda-Gerês National Park".The paper highlights the hostels of the city â€" the hostel frequented by Jeanine offered him a bike for the journalist pedaling, but the offer was swapped with a visit on foot to the city. "The city is conducive to walking, with its cobbled streets and squares. University students can be seen on the terraces and bars, and some of the older buildings have become repositories for art or modern architecture, "says Jeanine.The journalist highlights the cultural activities of the city, including a visit to the bookstore 100th, a bookshop which occupies a building with a facade from the 18th century. "The quiet life of Braga accelerates when the sun goes down, especially downtown. The intimate sense of the city and its compact size make it easy to visit the numerous bars, and offers a more inviting prospect than trying to enter the vast port offerings, more scattered, "says The Guardian.Finally, the British newspaper praises the intergenerational interaction which can be seen on the streets of the city, the teenagers to Thrifty.
