Interactive InfoPoint

With interactive technology it is possible to create a personalized itinerary and download it via QR code to your cell phone, giving the visitors the possibility to, in a dynamic way, get the most out of their experiences in Braga.

It also concentrates pre-defined routes with historical experiences, taste, and gastronomic experiences. For example add “Teatro Circo”, “Taberna Belga” e o museum “Nogueira da Silva”, and realize in real time the route and distance you like the most and set off on an adventure with the route in your pocket.

Scenography and Signage

EDIGMA is responsible for making the space perceptible and educational. With scenography and signage adapted to the characteristics of the space, it is easy and intuitive to navigate in the hostel. Simultaneously, some of the human rights are honored, for example, through a pillar decorated with illustrations from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights or in the access stairs to the second floor where it is possible to contemplate some of the difficulties that students faced during the academic crisis of the 1960s.

Wall of diversity

Located in the shared area there is a space dedicated to the stories and curiosities of all visitors. In this Wall of diversity, it is possible to express oneself freely and then place the post-it on the place where they come from. With this display you can feel the diversity that surrounds you and share interests.

Selfie TV

The Selfie TV is an 86 inches screen that allows travelers to stand in front of it and take selfies in emblematic places or with typical products of the city of Braga. This technology can be found in the shared area and, besides being a fun way to visit several places, it also connects the traveler to the city he/she is visiting, triggering the curiosity to visit the place in person.
