Itinerary

Visit to the University of Coimbra - the oldest in Portugal, declared a World Heritage Site in 2013. Privileged located on the top of the city, overlooking the Mondego River, the University developed around a central courtyard where some elements stand out for their artistic interest and symbolism.

Visit to the Joanina Library, one of the most important and historical sights of Coimbra. Considered one of the most beautiful places of Coimbra, it has a peculiar architecture and a unique style.

Visit to the Sé Velha, considered a jewel of the Portuguese Romanesque. It is the only Portuguese cathedral built at the time of the Reconquest whose structure has survived to the present day.

Visit to the Santa Cruz Church, which has the title of National Monument, but above all, National Pantheon. This title is justified not only by the fact that the church is the resting place of the first king of Portugal, but also of his son and second monarch of the country, crowned in the Cathedral of Coimbra in 1185.

Visit to the Monastery of Santa Clara-a-Velha, founded by the Queen Santa Isabel and distinguished with several awards among them the best Portuguese museum. It has the influence of the Gothic style, in which stands the cloister and the church, sacred in 1330.
