The main attractions in Braga were pretty accessible by foot, it’s not exactly a big city. The environment was super clean, the people were friendly, I felt very safe and comfortable moving around on my own, and it was a pretty nice city to walk around.

Hey Girls I’m living near Braga around 3 years, never had any issues with safety during the day, but I’m not night person, so I heard about guys putting some drug in girls drinks in night clubs be safe and don’t trust guys here.

I believe Braga is a pretty safe place to visit as long as you take standard precautions. Please be aware of your surroundings, you never know what or who may appear! Most people will be kind to you, and there’s lots of delicious places to eat. I hope you enjoy your stay!

Town is small and calm. It look pretty harmless for me. There are lots of students around during the night like me, so I don't feel uncomfortable. I also love to run in the park at night, never notices something g suspicious or odd. Neither in the bars and clubs.
