What should I pack when moving to Braga?

We asked people living in Braga to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...

"Three things I wish I would have brought my golf clubs, my dog & my furniture. Three things I wish I would have left are all of my kitchen appliances (converters burn out quckly here)... that's about it," wrote a member who made the move to Braga, Portugal.

"When moving to Braga, you should pack a variety of clothing suitable for a Mediterranean climate, including lightweight clothing for the warm summers and heavier clothing for the cooler winters. Don't forget to pack a good quality raincoat and umbrella, as Braga is known for its rainy winters. Pack comfortable walking shoes, as the city is best explored on foot. Also, bring a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen to protect yourself from the sun. If you plan on swimming, pack a swimsuit, beach towel, and flip flops. Bring all necessary toiletries, but keep in mind that most items can be purchased locally. Pack any prescription medications you need, along with a copy of your prescription. Don't forget to bring your passport, driver's license, and other necessary identification. If you plan on working or studying, bring any necessary paperwork, such as work permits or school transcripts. Pack a Portuguese phrasebook or dictionary to help with the language barrier. Bring a power adapter for your electronics, as Portugal uses a different plug type than many other countries. Lastly, pack personal items that will make your new place feel like home, such as photos or favorite books," explained one expat living in Braga, Portugal.
