Portugal Bom Jesus do Monte

Please log in or sign up for free to see the GPS coordinates & weather for this photo spot

Bom Jesus do Monte is a pilgrimage church near the small city of Braga, Portugal. It is located on hill that you can reach with a cable car. This cable car is the oldest working funicular railway working only with water. The tank of the upper car is filled with water and the weight of the water lowers this car and the lower car is pulled up.

Photography Tips

We had bad weather there with fog and rain :(, but when the weather is better you should have a beautiful view around. If you visit the church itself you of course have to use a higher ISo rane than normal.
