Student accommodation in Braga
Braga is Portugal's youngest city and one of its most affordable: the University of Minho, with its Gualtar campus, sets the pace of a city where almost everything is a short walk away. It is the choice for anyone who wants the Portuguese university experience without Lisbon or Porto prices, with Porto less than an hour away by train and the Esposende coast half an hour by car. Our residences sit between the historic centre and the corridor up to Gualtar.

Frequently asked questions
How much does student accommodation cost in Braga?
Rooms in Braga student residences for the 2026/27 academic year are published here as soon as they are released. Inventory updates daily — check back soon or message us.
Are the residences in Braga well located?
Yes. In Braga the nearest residence is just a 15-minute by bus from Universidade do Minho (Gualtar), and every other campus, with real travel times, is in the distance table on this page.
Do I need a UK guarantor to book?
No. Unlike the UK private rental market, which usually requires a UK-based guarantor, student residences let you book by paying upfront or in instalments with no guarantor at all. It's one of the biggest advantages for international students.
What does the price include?
All the essentials: wifi, water, electricity and heating, plus the building's communal areas (gym, study rooms, cinema or laundry depending on the residence). No separate bills, no service charges.
When does the academic year start and when should I book?
The 2026/27 academic year starts in September. Standard tenancies run 44 weeks (September to July) or 51 weeks (full year), and rooms sell out between spring and late summer — the earlier you book, the more studio types you'll have to choose from.
