Braga is a small city that’s fairly easy to get around; it can also be full of challenging roads that are narrow, while you’ll come across various one-way systems like any European city. If you’re looking to drive near the centre more often than not, then a compact car like a saloon will be a wise option for you. You shouldn’t have any difficulty driving this compared to a larger vehicle like an SUV.

When driving around Braga and the outskirts, you’ll need to make sure you keep to various speed limits. When in urban areas, you can drive up to 50 km/h; rural roads allow up to 90 km/h; and on motorways, you can drive up to 120 km/h. Portugal cities all have similar speed limits, so if you decide to visit other places close to Braga, like Guimaraes and Povoa de Varzim, you’ll already feel familiar with them.

Once you’ve sorted out your car hire in Braga, a good thing to know is where recommended places are to park around the city, whether free or paid. There are many car parks that you can find spread around the city, outside the old centre. The cheaper car parks near the centre are Campo da Vinha, Avenida Central and Braga Shopping Centre, which all have underground parking facilities and charge around €1 for 2 hours. You can locate them just outside the old centre, in the Sao Vicente and Sao Joao de Souto districts.
