Classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the University of Coimbra is a major contributor to the city's reputation. It is indeed an architectural jewel. Be sure to visit it with your group. Its library, in particular, is magnificent. From its turn, the participants in your group trip will discover a splendid 360° view of Coimbra. However, the university is not the only asset of Coimbra, which, from the time it was the capital of Portugal, has kept some very beautiful monuments such as the Santa Cruz monastery or the old cathedral, a masterpiece of Portuguese Romanesque art. Your group will love walking through the old streets of the La Baixa district. It is indeed the opportunity to stop in a traditional café to taste the pastéis of Santa Clara, small cakes filled with almonds, or the arrufadas, brioches with cinnamon.
