Overview

Conimbriga is a veritable pearl of the Roman legacy left in Portugal. It is currently applying to become a UNESCO World Heritage Site, a city of enormous dimensions, constantly undergoing archaeological excavations (a never-ending job).

Among other attractions, we'll get to know the museum, full of various finds from this city (such as coins, knives, games, glass, ceramics), the extraordinary fountain house, the walls, the canter house, the baths, or the forum. Always with explanations from the guide.

The city is practically flat, so it's not physically demanding.

The Roman city is adapted to tourism and has toilets, a café and a restaurant

Conimbriga is located just a few kilometers from Coimbra (25 minutes by car, a little longer by bus). If you're coming from the south of Portugal, in the direction of Coimbra or the north (or in the opposite direction), you'll always pass through Conimbriga). It's an excellent opportunity to spend some time getting to know this fascinating city.
