Coimbra Adventure Discovery and Learning with a Local

The introduction to our tour, letting us place ourselves in the geography of Portugal and in its secularized present.

Among other churches prior to this one, we'll check out the interior of Santa Cruz and talk about the historical figures that studied here, and the kings whose remains rest within its walls.

What is Almedina and why is it so well guarded? The deeper we delve into Coimbra, the deeper we delve into its history and culture.

After winding alleyways, we find ourselves in front of the most iconic cathedral in Coimbra, full of stories to tell.

Lets walk through and talk about the history of one of the oldest still operating universities in the world.
