Our journey begins as we meander through the medieval streets of Coimbra's center, where the soulful sounds of Fado music fill the air during various festivals. Here, we'll find two intriguing monuments that grace this vibrant space.

During our route, we'll pass by the Sé-Velha, or the Old Cathedral, the sole Romanesque-style cathedral in Portugal that dates back to the Christian Reconquista era.

Lastly, we'll stop at the University of Coimbra, founded in 1290 and recognized as one of Europe's oldest universities. We'll conclude our tour here—the second-oldest university in Portugal—a true gem you won't want to miss in this captivating city!
