My name is Miguel. I am interested in history, culture and nature and I like to share this passion with other people. I have a bachelor's and a master's in History. Professionally, I have worked in historical research and in other areas such as a waiter. Getting to know new places and introducing them to friends is one of my hobbies. That's why having the opportunity to show the fascinating locations of Coimbra region to visitors from all over the world is a fullfilling experience for me. The tours I offer seek to show the historical, cultural, and natural richness of the Coimbra region. From the city's main monuments, which are linked to the history of Portugal, to places of great natural beauty, including water springs, mountains, roman ruins, forest paths and stunning gardens. I invite you to come with me to visit some of the most breathtaking places in the Coimbra region and enjoy experiences that can create memories for a lifetime. My other hobbies include visual arts and literature. I have a bachelor in History and a master's on Contemporary History. I have a drivers licence but don't have a vehicle. The vehicles that I will use for the tours will be rented.

Walking Tour, with your local guide over Portugal's old capital
Overview of your Coimbra tour
I invite you to join me for a walk in my hometown and to get to know the city of Coimbra from a very local, authentic, and scientific perspective. Coimbra is the city of poets and fado, of the Holy Queen and Miracle of Roses, it is the old capital of Portugal with a university that has lasted for more than seven centuries. It has a uniquely tangible and intangible heritage and is a cornerstone in the scientific culture of Europe and the world, and it is part of UNESCO's world heritage. We will start our tour in the upper town to see one of the oldest universities in the world and from there we will slowly stroll down to the downtown, passing through century-old streets, exquisite buildings down to Sé Velha de Coimbra, a true treasure of the Portuguese Romanesque Style. The tour will end in front of the Santa Cruz Church, where the first king of Portugal is buried. Travel through centuries of history in a concise, fun, and personalized way with your local guide, Ph. D. student, and historian.
