Activity itinerary

Tricana Of Coimbra (Pass by)

Figure of another time, the Tricana de Coimbra is the emblematic feminine image of the city.

Old Cathedral of Coimbra (Se Velha de Coimbra) (Pass by)

Here we are, right in front of one of the most expressive and oldest testimonies of Romanesque art in Portugal.

National Museum Machado de Castro (Pass by)

You can barely see it in our path, yet the Machado de Castro National Museum is one of the most important art institutions in the whole country.

Se Nova Catedral de Coimbra (Pass by)

Let it be clear between us, just because we call it nova, or “new” in French, does not mean that this religious building does not have much to teach us.

Estrada de São Sebastião (Pass by)

Without even going further, we can already see between the foliage and the passing cars, the imposing silhouette of the aqueduct of São Sebastião.

Jardim Botanico (Pass by)

Often cited in the family of the most beautiful gardens in the world, the Jardim Botânico was founded in 1774, at the request of the Marquis de Pombal.

Terraço Da Alta (Pass by)

Clinging to a hill, overlooking the Rio Mondego, Coimbra is the festive and popular mood of its Baixa, the erudite and ancestral temperament of its Alta, but also the romance and holiness of its Santa Clara area.

University of Coimbra (Pass by)

Anyone visiting Coimbra, can not miss a stop at this special place. The University of Coimbra is a living testament to the best that Portugal has to offer in science, arts and culture.

Coimbra (Pass by)

If the University of Coimbra has a reputation without borders, it is obviously due to its image as a citadel of knowledge, but not only.

Coimbra (Pass by)

Almost at the end of the route on Coimbra, from the Serra da Estrela where it originates, the Rio Mondego is the longest 100% Portuguese river.

Mosteiro de Santa Clara-a-Velha (Pass by)

Although most of the abbeys were abandoned, after the disappearance of the various religious orders, the monastery of Santa Clara-a-Velha is still in place.

Portugal dos Pequenitos (Pass by)

By definition dedicated to children, Portugal dos Pequenitos, or the “Portugal of the very small”, placed on your left, is the oldest theme park in the country.

Monastery of Santa Clara-a-Nova (Pass by)

Perched on the heights of the Santa Clara district, the monastery of Santa Clara-a-Nova was built between 1648 and 1696, in order to replace that of Santa Clara-a-Velha, which was hit several times by the floods of the Rio Mondego.

Miradouro Santa Clara (Pass by)

Oh, there, but what a magical place! It is perfectly located on the slopes of the Santa Clara district that this miradouro, or lookout, if translated into the language of Molière, reveals itself in grace and perspective.

Fado ao Centro (Pass by)

When we try to connect music to Portugal, 4 letters are jostled in our head, before being pronounced on the tips of our lips. Together, they say the word Fado.

Rua Ferreira Borges (Pass by)

Here you are at the gates of Rua Ferreira Borges! True to the same route since medieval times, this artery is one of the liveliest in the area.

Porta da Barbaca (Pass by)

Slided or even hidden between two buildings on your right, the Porta da Barbacã is a precious witness to the second fortified enclosure of Coimbra.

Praça do Comércio 57 (Pass by)

We need no more than a quick look at Praça do Comércio to see that the church of São Tiago is the historical reference of the surroundings.

Studio Baixa de Coimbra (Pass by)

Although the historic centre extends over almost the entire city, Coimbra is composed of two bordering geographical areas, with distinct morphology and history.

Café Santa Cruz (Pass by)

Added to Café Majestic in Porto, and Café Brasileira in Lisbon, Café Santa Cruz de Coimbra caps off the trio of the most beautiful cafés in the country.

Santa Cruz Church (Pass by)

Perfectly integrated into the chromatic and architectural patchwork of the square, on which it stands, the Mosteiro de Santa Cruz is one of the oldest and most important monuments in Coimbra.

Restaurant Jardim da Manga (Pass by)

This is where we stop friends, near the Jardim da Manga, which emerges on our way as a kind of enchanted place.

Terraço Da Alta (Pass by)

Perched in a favourable position at 160 metres of altitude, the Alta de Coimbra is the second face of the city.

Torre de Anto (Pass by)

With its squat and ancient appearance, it is easy to believe that the Torre de Anto was initially among the highest points of the medieval enclosure of Coimbra.

R. Sobre Ribas 10 (Pass by)

Barely the arch crossed, that we are pleasantly surprised by this portal with a rich naturalist decoration, so attached to the Manueline architectural style.
