Coimbra Private Guided Tour Starting From Lisbon

Former capital of the country, Coimbra stretches along the lovely river Mondego – the largest national river in central Portugal. It was birthplace of six First Dynasty kings, as well as the first University of the Country.

Steeped in history and long considered the cultural and intellectual center of Portugal, Coimbra is a timeless destination that has inspired the work of acclaimed poets and writers, a long tradition of fado serenades full of sentiment and a unique legacy of joyful academic rituals.

This is a private excursion so you can choose which attractions to visit in your tour of Coimbra. Your guide will pick you up and drop you off in your accommodation in Lisbon.

One of the great landmarks of Coimbra is the lively academic celebrations, where thousands of students proudly parade with their black cloaks through the streets of the city, singing popular songs and filling the streets with the sound of the guitars that accompany the fados.

Among its several places of visit is the famous Portugal dos Pequenitos. It is a space where visitors of all ages can explore replicas of typically Portuguese villages, miniature national buildings and monuments.
