All amounts are in EUROS. Excepting the Youth Hostel, all prices are for two people/night and include breakfast, private bath, telefone,
and elevator.
NOTE: When you check-in, the hotel will ask to keep your passports. This is normal.
As these are high season rates, prices from October to March will probably be slightly lower.
Hotels are required to fill out government paperwork which requires your passport information.
...budget accomodations: stay at the Residência Avenida - but remember that parking is not included.
... accomodations for children: A double room at Hotel Carandá gives the best combo of cheap and clean but if you
want something that is "Portuguese" then try a suite at Senhora-a-Branca.
This lovely, but small, hotel is located at the quiet end of the Praça de República (playground, fountains, McDonalds,
etc)... and perhaps the mini-frig, tiny sitting room and separate bedroom are worth the extra cost. (What price sanity?)
No matter where you stay, bring your scooter.
Adults can stroll through Historic Old Braga at their leisure, while the kids roam ahead on their
scooters.
... something fancy, located outside the city: Hotel do Elevador/Hotel do Parque. Bring a suitcoat.
... a pool (summer only): Hotel Carandá guests can use the outdoor pool at a sister hotel, one block away. Then again, Braga has four municipal pools available for everyone to use... and an ocean-full of beaches just under an hour away.
