Description

Coimbra was the capital of Portugal and has one of the oldest universities in Europe, a UNESCO World Heritage site. In two and a half hours, you can explore the city of students, from the University hill to the Baixa. This is done by the company with over 100,000 five-star reviews.

We start from the Aqueduct of São Sebastião and pass by the Botanical Garden, the University, the Porta Férrea, the University Tower, the Sé Nova, the Machado de Castro Museum, and the Sé Velha. We descend to the Jardim da Manga, the Monastery of Santa Cruz, and the Rua Velha, and finish at the Largo da Portagem, next to the monument to Miguel Torga.

We tell you about the students' traditions, the story of Pedro and Inés, and where to listen to fado from Coimbra. Look for the blue umbrella. In the end, you decide how much the tour is worth.
