Coimbra, former capital of the Kingdom of Portugal, scene of tragic loves and birthplace of one of the oldest universities in Europe.
From ancient legends to tense political confrontations, the Free Tour of Coimbra tells us the story of a city that has become bigger than a country.
Of course, the "Fado de Coimbra" and one of the most tragic love stories in memory, that of Inés de Castro and King Pedro, could never be missing from the Free Tour of Coimbra.
Passion, knowledge and power are intrinsic to the city and our Free Tour of Coimbra will be a time machine that will travel through centuries in the city, from the Romans to the Dictatorship of the New State .
At the Paço das Escolas , Free Tour of Coimbra will also tell you several curiosities about the Bell Tower, the Joanina Library, the Capelos Room and even the Academic Prison, which you can visit on your own after the visit.
In academic festivals and traditions, the Old Cathedral of Coimbra is the symbol of one of the most important moments in the life of any Coimbra student: The Monumental Serenade.
In another of the most popular places in Coimbra, the Jardim da Manga , the Free Tour of Coimbra will talk about the Jewish presence in the city since time immemorial and also about the Court of the Inquisition of Coimbra, one of the cruelest in the country.
Almost at the end of the tour, the Free Tour of Coimbra will pass by the Monastery of Santa Cruz , where we will reveal who the patron saint of the city is and what extraordinary episode took place in this city that is still told from generation to generation.
Free Tour of Coimbra is much more than a traditional guided tour of the city. A journey made of legends and traditions, of political games and forbidden loves, it is a journey through the history of Portugal and its first capital.
We are at the Main Arch of the Aqueduct with our blue umbrella.
