Itinerary

  • Porto (Pass By)

    our expert guide will collect you from your hotel/accommodation or meeting point and will drive you to Coimbra, your first stop! On your way, the guide will give you insights regarding the Portuguese history, development and cultural facts of portuguese heritage.

  • Universita Di Coimbra

    We begin this visit, precisely at the university founded in the XIIIth Century and which UNESCO has placed on its list of World Heritage sites, in a classification that also includes Rua da Sofia and the upper part of the city. It's well worth climbing its tower, which houses the bells that signal the start and end of classes, in order to appreciate the superb 360º view of Coimbra. But there is much to see at ground level, too: the Pátio das Escolas courtyard, the Sala dos Capelos hall where the most important ceremonies are held, the Chapel of São Miguel with an imposing Baroque organ and the Joanine Library, which has more than 300,000 works dating from the 16th to the 18th centuries arranged in beautiful gilt-covered bookcases. The buildings occupy the place of the Palace where the first Kings of Portugal lived, when they made the city the capital of the kingdom. Admission to the university and library is not included.

    1 hour

  • Coimbra

    On the banks of the river Mondego, Coimbra is famous for its University, the oldest in Portugal and one of the oldest in Europe, which over time has shaped its image to become "the city of students". There are several monuments from those times that display the splendour of Romanesque art. In the shopping area and area of historic cafés in the City Centre, visitors really must see the Monastery of Santa Cruz, which houses the tomb of the first King of Portugal, Afonso Henriques, and on the other bank, the Monastery of Santa Clara-a-Velha, recovered and rescued from the waters of the river that invaded it over the centuries. The Sé Velha (Old Cathedral), too, on whose steps the monumental serenade takes place in which students dressed in black capes sing the Coimbra Fado with heartfelt emotion. This is one of the events in the Queima das Fitas ritual (Burning of the Ribbons) every May, in which newly graduated students celebrate the completion of their course, at a very colourful party. This liveliness is felt throughout the year, however, in the many pubs, restaurants and “Repúblicas” (student residences), examples of community life.

    3 hours

  • Aveiro

    For the afternoon, the tour proceeds to Aveiro, next to the sea and the ria (estuary), is crossed by a network of channels through which moliceiros (local boats) meander. These slim, colourful vessels used to be used to collect algae and seaweed, and today are for sightseeing trips.

    1 hour

  • Ria de Aveiro

    Cruise Aveiro's dazzling canals on a classic Moliceiro (traditional boat) Relax and enjoy the landscape on this traditional boat, that once was used to collect seagrass in the lagoon.

    50 minutes

  • Costa Nova

    Next and Last stop: Costa Nova do Prado beach, famous only by the name Costa Nova. The most picturesque aspect of Costa Nova is its coast road along which a line of wooden huts is painted in brightly coloured stripes alternating with white. Built by fishermen as shelters and equipment stores, the huts have now been converted into rather characteristic holiday homes.

Fabulous Day Trip from Porto

Published on Dec, 2024

Our guide Nuno was excellent -- personable, professional and extremely knowledgeable about history, architecture and religious art. The stops at Aveiro and Costa Nova were fun and interesting, but Coimbra was the highlight. The admission to the library, chapel and palace was well worth it, but the town itself is the jewel. Beautiful views, gorgeous cathedrals, the vibrant University, a flourishing historical and cultural center. A lovely day we will always remember. Thanks, Living Tours!

The stops at Aveiro and Costa Nova were fun and interesting, but Coimbra was the highlight. The nominal admission to the chapel, library and palace was well worth it, but the town itself is the jewel. Beautiful views, the cathedrals, the University, the vibe of a historical cultural center. A lovely day we will always remember.
