Tour description
As an International Relations student at the University of Coimbra, I see history as a living, breathing story. I don't just want to show you monuments; I want to help you understand what Coimbra truly is - the city that educated Portugal's kings and continues to inspire students and poets from around the world.
On our journey together, we'll uncover the layers of this Ancient Capital:
- Explore the iconic University, including the stunning Joanina Library, and hear the curious student traditions that bring these old stones to life.
- Step inside a powerful 12th-century church and discover its role in shaping the nation.
- Walk through history as we connect the dots between the city's most famous historical buildings.
- Learn not just the dates, but the stories, the symbolism, the dramas, and the passions that define Coimbra.

As my gift to you, after the tour, you'll receive my personally crafted 30-page guide to Coimbra, filled with my top tips for where to find the best lunch, a perfect coffee, a lively night out, or places for physical activities.
