It is the oldest of its kind in the world, so taking it is arguably the more interesting option.\r\nIs Braga just churches? | It has the oldest cathedral in Portugal and a great many churches, and it also has 20,000 students and a nightlife that runs to four in the morning from Wednesday. The two coexist surprisingly comfortably.\r\nWhen is Semana Santa and should I plan around it? | March or April, and it is the biggest Holy Week in Portugal with barefoot processions through the old streets. Book months ahead or avoid the week entirely \u2014 there is no middle option.\r\nIs Braga a good base for Peneda-Ger\u00eas? | The best public transport option, at about ninety minutes by bus to Ger\u00eas village. The park itself is much easier with a car, as services inside it are sparse.\r\nIs it cheap? | One of the cheapest cities in Portugal. Dorms \u20ac14 to \u20ac22, set lunches \u20ac7 to \u20ac10, beer at \u20ac1.50, and a day around \u20ac35 to \u20ac45.\r\nWhat is vinho verde? | Young, slightly sparkling, low-alcohol wine from the Minho countryside around Braga.
