Un des 3 accès possible au sanctuaire de Braga, le funiculaire 🤩 Bought a ticket at the top and waited for 30 minutes, we figured the operator must have been having a long lunch and just skipped a service, the next scheduled departure didn't run either. Finally we asked someone selling photographs who told us that, randomly, they decided not to start service until 3pm that day. Maybe put up a sign? Update your Google maps listing? Or at least turn off the ticket selling machine. We just ended up walking. A cold and disappointing experience for my mom and I. It's only a small ride, but the authentic little cart makes is worthwhile. And it's far less tiresome in the heat than climbing the stairs. (€2,50 pp, July 2020) Fast, efficient, on time and with the bonus of less stairs to climb! Buy tickets from machine next to entrance. Worth riding to the top and then walking down. For the best experiance stand on the front platform of the carriage. One if the oldest I have ever ridden. Be prepared to wait a little bit here because the elevadors go every hour 25 and 55. Muito interessante experiência..Recomendo Vale a experiência de subir, pela história e estrutura de mais de 500 anos ainda em funcionamento. Old and very cute, it's a long walk up so helps. Only 2 euro per person or 3 euro return, but better to walk down and enjoy the sights. Local bem interessante para passar um dia agradavel em família.Pode-se levar piquenique. Tem muito espaco verde, tem um pequeno lago que ate se pode andar de barco. E claro conhecer a parte da igreja e o restante local.Aconselho a subir até a igreja de comboio movido água é uma.boa experiência. Was taken here by bus on a Gate1 tour. Beautiful place. Gardens and church were beautiful. Took the venicular to the top. I was amazed by how many stunning churches Braga has, but Bom Jesus do Monte truly stood out. The ride is a must, and once at the top, the city views and gardens make it the perfect place to explore and relax. Amazing view and experience going up the old cable car Prachtig om te zien ! To go up, tram leaves at xx:25 and xx:55. A little long wait. We plan to walk down.
