If you want to understand Portugal's former capital beyond its monuments, this experience is for you.

Explore Coimbra's Historic Centre and University District in a relaxed small group while discovering how history, student traditions, local legends and everyday life have shaped the city for centuries.

Starting in Praça 8 de Maio, we'll walk through medieval streets, lively squares and centuries-old landmarks as Coimbra gradually reveals its identity. Along the way, we'll visit the exterior of the University of Coimbra and the Joanina Library, admire the Old and New Cathedrals, stroll through the legendary Quebra-Costas Steps, discover Almedina Tower, pass the Machado de Castro National Museum and explore many of the places that have made Coimbra one of Portugal's most important cultural and academic centres.

More than simply visiting monuments, every stop reveals how the city evolved from Portugal's former capital into one of Europe's oldest university cities. You'll discover Coimbra Fado, student traditions, local legends, remarkable historical events and the customs that continue to shape everyday life today.

Designed for small groups, the experience is personal, interactive and flexible. Questions are always welcome, and you'll also receive plenty of local recommendations to help you make the most of the rest of your stay.
