Coimbra Best Of: Private walking tour with tickets
Coimbra is known as the city of students because it has the oldest Portuguese university, founded in the 13th century, built next to the old royal palace and attached to the old Roman forum, as if emulating the ancient acropolis of classical knowledge in Athens. The academic traditions merge perfectly with the legends and traditions of Portugal’s almost millennia-old history, where the stories of bloody battles and tragic loves seem serene when you gaze at the peaceful Mondego River, which runs through the city and Portugal. Discover the main attractions of this amazing city, on this private tour by former students of the University of Coimbra.

Discovering the historic village of Monsanto
Our adventures are not just made of Nature and proof of this is our visit to the historic village of Monsanto In 1938, this was considered the most Portuguese village in Portugal and was awarded the silver rooster that it still proudly displays today on its Lucano tower. In this village everything seems magical, its location on the slope of a granite outcrop meant that the village's inhabitants built houses using the huge boulders as part of the housing structure, often defying the laws of physics. At the top we find the Monsanto castle which still shows its grandeur and the ingenuity of the Portuguese people who built it, also becoming known in recent years for being one of the settings for the famous series "Game of Thrones" All of this will always be accompanied by breathtaking landscapes and unforgettable displays of nature.

The city of Coimbra was the first capital of the kingdom of Portugal, but its history goes back much further. It came to prominence in Roman times, but it was during the Christian reconquest of the Iberian Peninsula that the city of Coimbra became instrumental in consolidating the formation of the kingdom of Portugal, the oldest nation-state in Europe. That’s why this city has some of the most impressive medieval monuments in Portuguese history, which we invite you to discover in the company of local guides who were former students at the University of Coimbra, the oldest in Portugal.

Coimbra tour FAQs

Common questions about booking Coimbra experiences through SimilarTours

What's the best time to visit Coimbra?

The shoulder seasons - April to May and September to October - give you mild weather and fewer crowds. If festive energy appeals, December brings Christmas-themed private tours through the old town. Summer is warm but can feel touristy, and winters are cool and damp.

How far in advance should I book a tour here?

Private walking tours and guided experiences in Coimbra can typically be arranged a week or two ahead without trouble. For specialty tours like the Templar Way or family history adventures, checking a month out gives you better availability and peace of mind.

Are private guides worth it in Coimbra?

Yes, especially if you want the real stories behind the university's royal connections or the romantic riverside history. The city's layout is steep and winding - a guide helps you understand what you're actually looking at rather than just walking uphill.

How do I get around Coimbra itself?

The old town is steep and best explored on foot with a guide or map. Buses exist but aren't essential for visitors. If you're heading to Lisbon, Porto, or Fatima, private transfers or organized tours handle transport smoothly.

Is Coimbra good for families?

Absolutely. Private family-focused tours exist that blend hands-on history with exploration, and the Leiria region nearby offers similar family adventure options. Just be prepared for cobblestones and hills - younger kids might need a breather.

What's usually included in a private tour?

Most private walking tours include a knowledgeable guide who shares historical and cultural context. Hotel pick-up is common for longer day trips to Fatima or regional adventures. Always check before you go to confirm what's covered and whether lunch or entrance fees are included.

Can I do a day trip from Coimbra?

Very much so. Lisbon, Cascais, and the Fatima sanctuary are all reachable in a day with a private tour or transfer. The Leiria region and Templar Way sites work beautifully as half or full-day outings from Coimbra too.
