Exploring Braga’s Hidden Corners with a Puzzle Twist

If you’re like me, the idea of sightseeing sometimes feels too passive—reading signs, taking photos, and moving on. This experience flips that around. You download the free Loquiz app, get your credentials via email, and suddenly you’re an active participant in Braga’s story.

The inclusion of a local pastry stop at Figideiras do Cantinho adds a tasty, authentic touch. It’s a perfect moment to pause, sample a treat, and chat about the clues you’ve just solved.
