Discover why it is considered one of the best student cities in Portugal and enjoy the streets, gardens and views of the lower and the higher town.

The city was once the capital of Portugal and, through all its history, has hosted many cultures. We will start the tour in the Largo da Portagem, an important square in the commercial neighbourhood of Baixa, and start climbing through the narrow alleys filled with World Heritage sites until the top.

There we’ll see the famous University of Coimbra, with its faculties, tons of traditions, several gardens and squares. From there we will go down across the charming little streets and see the Old Cathedral, lively squares and, maybe, the street with the oddest name of the world: the Quebra Costas. We will conclude the tour nearby!
