Bom Jesus do Monte is a notable sanctuary and pilgrimage site situated on a hill in the outskirts of Braga, a historic city in northern Portugal. Inscribed in 2019 as a UNESCO world heritage site, the sanctuary is completely accessible to the public and does not charge any entrance fee. The most iconic feature of the sanctuary is the monumental Baroque stairway leading to the Church of Bom Jesus do Monte. We took a taxi which send us to the church directly we so skipped climbing up the 577 steps on the 116-metre stairway. Instead we walked down the stairway after visiting the sanctuary complex. An alternative way to reach the church is by taking the water-powered funicular. The fee is 2 euros for a one-way journey and 3 euros for a round trip.

Ticket-free, is the UN World Heritage Project, the most unique is the zigzag staircase. Overlooking the entire Braga at the highest point, come down from the highest point, walk slowly, and find the beauty of the stairs when you finish.
Portugal's #mountain of Mercy Jesus Pilgrimage# Abroad, the most seen is the church ⛪️. But how different is this, it is a church on the top of the mountain, you need to take the cable car up the mountain
Lovely place to visit. Not busy at all on a rainy day in November. Would definitely visit again.

距离波尔图1小时的火车的城市,当天往返时间挺充足的。出火车站乘坐2路公交车,终点站下就到了,45分钟的车程,位于城郊。可以乘坐缆车上下,比较节约体力。不过为了表示我们的虔诚,没有乘坐。山上的风景很好,最美的要数之字形的巴洛克台阶。当天教堂正好有土豪包场结婚,可以在旁边观礼,来宾都穿礼服,仪式感十足有很神圣。参观要教堂可以继续爬山,不过对于体力差的我们只能放弃了。
Go in the evening, sit on the mountain and watch the sun slowly fade, see the whole city gradually blurred from clarity until it becomes silhouette, see the pilgrimage of Jesus in different shapes in the light transformation...
