Our journey begins at the feet of the King who founded this legacy, D. Dinis. From there, we will embark on a captivating voyage through the centuries, tracing the dramatic evolution of Coimbra from its ancient Roman roots to the bustling academic hub it is today. You will discover how the university transformed not just minds, but the very architectural and urban landscape of the city.
I invite you to step through time with me to visit the ancient palace of the first king, a breathtaking gold-over-blue chapel, and the magnificent golden Baroque library.
After soaking in all this deep knowledge and rich history, I invite you to take a well-deserved rest with me at the historic Botanical Garden. Beneath its canopy of exotic trees and hidden pathways, we will unwind and let the spirit of the city truly sink in.
