Bom Jesus do Monte

About

Climb nearly 600 steps to a beautiful sanctuary with fountains, gardens, and amazing views.

Why go

• A pilgrimage stair where physical ascent mirrors spiritual reflection
• The climb is as much a part of the experience as the view from the top
• A place that feels rather than is visited

Must try

• Climb the monumental zigzag staircase
• Ride the historic funicular
• Fountains depicting the five senses
• Chapels depicting scenes from the Passion of the Christ
• Climb the church tower for panoramic views

Pro tips

• Take the funicular up and walk down the 600 steps
• Visit early in the morning for fewer people
• Park at the bottom for free and see the iconic view
• Take Braga’s local Line 2 bus toward Bom Jesus
• Take a taxi or rideshare from central Braga

Good to know

• The bus only takes cash, have change with you
• Not ADA friendly, many stairs
