Overview
Although Coimbra was only classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2013 (when both its monuments and academic traditions were recognized by UNESCO, the United Nations agency for Education, Science and Culture), it’s safe to say that this “City of Knowledge” hides unexpected surprises at every corner! With the unique beauty of its historic buildings and the distinctive atmosphere shaped by centuries of student traditions, Coimbra offers an unforgettable sense of place.
During this walking tour through the Historic Center, we will explore the many reasons behind its World Heritage status, moving from Downtown to Uptown while unveiling its role in the History of Portugal and the material and immaterial heritage found within the classified area. Led by a local resident and former student of the country’s oldest university, this visit will make you fall in love with Coimbra.
