Overview

Join a history student from the University of Coimbra on a guided walking tour of Coimbra and learn about student traditions (what they do, how they live, how they dress, their daily lives), the history of Portugal's oldest university (creation and evolution) and the ancient history of the city itself (Roman, medieval, modern and contemporary)! Explore Coimbra's most notable monuments and landmarks.

As you walk, listen to your guide share exclusive student trivia (your guide will be dressed in traditional student attire) and tips on the city (what to do/see, where to eat) to enhance your visit.

The visit will be very personal, tailored to you and with good humor.
