May 24 (morning)
Tour de meio dia Coimbra
Dominating the city raises the vast group of buildings of the old University, the 2nd oldest in the world, dating from 1292. Here we will visit the 18th century Library, one of the most important sections of the University, which walls are covered with shelves with beautiful woodcarving and the St. Michael Chapel, an excellent example of the Manuelin art style. Nearby, we can find the Old Cathedral built in 1160, in Romanic style, with the magnificent cloister in Gothic style. The visit ends in the Santa Clara-a-Nova Monastery, located in the hill that dominates the southern bank of the Mondego River. Construction works started in 1649 but they were only concluded 50 years after and they were intended to replace the Santa Clara-a-Velha Monastery due to the permanent rise of the river waters that flooded all the area.

May 24 (afternoon)
Half-day tour to Luso and Bussaco
When in the Bussaco Mountain, we can see the 17th century Convent that once belonged to a religious congregation (Ordem das Carmelitas Descalças), of which there is only left the church and the private rooms. Along the mountain we will pass by several little chapels dating back to the 17th century. We will also visit the Grand Bussaco Hotel, a magnificent building projected by the architect Manini, in the end of the 19th century, in neo-Manuelin style. We will then continue to Luso and visit its Therms. Return to Coimbra.

May 25 (morning)
Half-day tour to Conímbriga
Located 15 km from Coimbra, Conímbriga was an ancient Roman town, situated in the military way that connected Olisipo (Lisbon) to Bracara Augusta (Braga). This Roman archaeological site presents ruins that date back to 2nd century b.C., comprises a Monographic Museum with a collection that helps to imagine the different occupations and beliefs of the town’s inhabitants since the Age of Iron until the Christian Era.
