Coimbra tour: downtown, historic center, university and botanic garden
Born and raised in the beautiful and historic city of Coimbra. I have a degree in anthropology and a master in management and planning of cultural heritage from the University of Coimbra). I like my city, I like history, I like meeting new people ... I will introduce you to Coimbra with original themed itineraries.
Tour description
This is an original tour, we explore the university, historical center, and also maybe (depending on the time/ group) the left bank. It is a visit to the most historical area and one of the newest areas of the city in recent years (but which has its important historical and social charm in the city). Usually, the tourists do not visit the left bank, no tours there, and therefore now there are no amazing places, traditions, and stories (very famous in Portugal). I want to give you a broader and different perspective of the city. We will talk about the history, society, and traditions of Coimbra and Portugal... be ready to walk!
I have a lot of things to tell you about the city/ Portugal. If you don't like history... if you are not ready to walk, think very well... the city has a lot of things/stories (and hills) to discover...
Itinerary:
- Largo da Portagem
- Baixa
- Historic Center
- University
- Botanical Garden...
- after the garden, we can come back directly to the meeting point.
I kindly ask you to be at the right time for the tours to start. If you arrive later, or if you don't make the tour, please let me know whenever you can.
Any delay means that: we may not have time to visit some historical places in the city (or we have to do it very fast), because betweenOctober/March season, some historical sites close early... or there can sometimes be big events in the city, and starting at the right time of the tour, we manage to avoid large crowds in certain areas of the city. Any delay, can lead the guide having to be more strict about time management and sometimes having to speak a little faster or speaking less. The city has several hills, which with any unforeseen event makes it even more difficult to carry out any tour in coimbra. The guide has also another things to do, my life it's not only tours!
Bringing comfortable, lightweight shoes for the tour is a good idea. it is a city with hills, and with some medieval streets.
If you come between May/October, the sun is often strong, it's very hot. A hat, and sunscreen to protect the skin may also be needed.
If for any reason you want to book the tour, or i just have one place, but you are a small group (3/4 people max.) but the booking it's unable, send me a message. I will send a message, i will tell you my availability!
If you have a large group and have problems with the reservation, write me via WhatsApp or private message via Guruwalk (tell me the number of people , language and tour time) !
