Monastery of Tibães

How To Visit The Monastery Of Tibães In 2024

The Monastery of Tibães is one of the most beautiful and important monasteries in Portugal. In fact, I think it’s a pity that this monument hasn’t been inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site (yet), like the Monasteries of Batalha, Hieronymites, and Alcobaça. If you’re thinking of visiting Braga, I recommend you spend one day exploring its historic center and another discovering the religious heritage on the outskirts of the city – namely the Sanctuary of Bom Jesus and the Monastery of Tibães!
