This tour was created for people who want to delve deeper into the history of Coimbra. Our visit "Universidade de Coimbra skip-the-line guided tours", also linked to TripAdvisor, has been making clear the great interest and taste of visitors for the history and other aspects of the city. That's why we created this extension of the visit beyond the University of Coimbra.
The city of Coimbra has one of the most important histories in Portugal. Famous for its University, it is also very important for the history of the Portuguese nation as it was the first capital of the country. It is in this context that we will take a guided tour of the University and city of Coimbra; be prepared for a lot of walking and history.
