About your trip
Embark on a round trip from Nazaré to Coimbra, the nation’s historic center of scholarship. This 1–1.5-hour drive inland leads you through a landscape of rolling hills to a city where centuries of academic tradition meet riverside beauty.
Spend four hours immersing yourself in this intellectual capital. Explore the prestigious university campus, famous for its gilded libraries and the soaring Sé Velha (Old Cathedral), a fortress-like Gothic masterpiece. Wander the cobbled streets of the old town, perhaps catching the haunting, soulful sounds of a Coimbra Fado performance, which is traditionally sung by students in black capes.
After a day spent among medieval ruins and academic grandeur, enjoy a relaxing journey back to the refreshing Atlantic breeze of Nazaré.
