More to book in Coimbra
Coimbra is a city in Portugal that makes the most sense on foot: medieval lanes where Fado is heard during celebrations, the Old Cathedral from the era of the Christian Reconquista, and the University of Coimbra, founded in 1290 and counted among the oldest in Europe. A guide links them with stories from the city's long history.
The free tour leaves from Largo da Portagem, in front of the Agência Banco de Portugal, lasts about two hours and 45 minutes and is guided in English. Groups are limited to 6 people. Booking costs nothing, and at the end you tip the guide as much or as little as you feel it was worth.
