University of Coimbra

We will discover, as the first stop of the day, the monumental building from the 16th century of the oldest University in Portugal (created in 1290 by King Dinis), one of the oldest in the world, still in operation, as well as the halls in its interior and the Chapel of São Miguel. In the "Páteo das Escolas" of the University of Coimbra, our guide will tell you the legends and stories that link the city to student tradition with more than 500 years of existence, while enjoying the beautiful views over the Mondego River.

Admission Included

Biblioteca Joanina

Still inside the University building, we will visit its most famous pearl: the Joanina Library, one of the most beautiful libraries in the world. A masterpiece of Portuguese baroque dating from 1717, it owes its name to king João V. Inside, we will discover the three floors of walls covered with shelves, decorated with exotic motifs, where thousands of centuries-old publications rest, with emphasis on works of medicine, geography, history, humanistic studies, science, civil and canon law, philosophy and theology.
