Additional Information

On a full-day private tour, you can decide with your guide whether to visit both Tomar and Coimbra or focus on just one of them.

We recommend starting with the city of Tomar, where you can learn about the history of the Knights Templar and the Convent of Christ, a UNESCO World Heritage site. This monumental complex features the iconic Charola, a round church adorned with intricate Manueline architecture. Admire the detailed craftsmanship that represents Portugal’s Age of Discoveries.

After strolling through the historic center, take a break for lunch and enjoy some local Portuguese cuisine.

Next, travel to Coimbra to visit the University, another UNESCO World Heritage site. Be amazed by the Joanina Library, a Baroque masterpiece, and the Royal Palace, which highlights the rich history of Portuguese royalty.

Finally, wander through Coimbra’s historic city center, exploring its narrow streets, lively squares, and charming local shops and cafes. Don’t miss the Sé Velha, the Old Cathedral, a Romanesque treasure.
