Beautiful historical buildings and landscapes with vineyards, corn patches, gardens, lake and forest. Due for restoration soon but that takes nothing away from the history that's been so well maintained.

Absolutely amazed by how beautiful this place is! The lady at the reception spoke very good English in case you're still learning Portuguese and not able to speak very well. They also handed out maps to both inside the monastery and the garden at the back of the monastery - which was huge, it looks more like a forest than a garden. The garden includes some stairs similar to what they have in Bom Jesus with a lake. There are also two routes that you can choose: short (45 minutes to complete) or long (90 minutes to complete). I chose the long route but it was doable in an hour or so. The church itself was pretty well kept with numbers on the floor that correspond with the explanation included on the map. We could also explore other areas of the monastery such as Sacristy, living room, painting rooms, little gardens, bedrooms, kitchens and even the toilets. Are all kept cleaned and renovated. Getting from Braga to here is also fairly easy. You can take an Uber, drive or take a bus. It's definitely a must visit place in Braga - Real for many reasons!

Definitely the most beautiful Monastery I've been to (and I've been to a few). Definitely worth doing thw listening tour, was very informative and there was always something available to listen to. In total took about 3hours for us to tour the entire grounds, but it definitely worth it. The safe was so friendly and nice, and the atmosphere was amazing and beautiful as it was rich with so much history... Do ensure that you visit the beautiful lake on the grounds before leaving. Definitely a must see when in Portugal.
