History lovers that we are, we were not going to visit Portugal without seeing the Roman ruins in Conimbriga. Fortunately we had Eva J as out guide: her wealth of knowledge, flawless command of English, love of what she is doing, great attitude and pleasant demeanor helped bring this dead place alive for us. We could imagine ourselves living in the structures she described and explained to us so well. Thank you, Eva!

Worth the visit if you are in the area. The entry fee was 8 euros and it includes the ruins and the museum. It was a very interesting visit.

The ruins have been partially excavated and what there is to see is interesting but not very well preserved, the mosaics are nice and the garden of the house with the fountains is really nice, the fountains still work if you put in a 50 cent coin in the meter.
What I didn’t care for was the paving they have done over the ruins and in the gymnasium area, it really ruins the whole effect.
The museum is very small, you can see it in about 20 minutes, but it is worth it as you are already there and there is no extra charge.
Getting there by public transportation is not easy as they only have a few buses a day. You can hire a taxi but I never checked on the price. We took a semi private tour out of Coimbra for 60 euros per person that included a visit to another interactive museum and the aqueduct nearby. The entire tour took about four hours from start to finish.

So interesting to view what life was like in this town based on the ruins. And there are digs currently happening so you get to watch archaeological work in real time. Not much shade but the museum and snack bar are indoors. Worth the visit!
