Hello and welcome to Coimbra! Born in Porto, I was a student at the University of Coimbra. I chose this hidden gem as my home in 2006, and from that time, I've been exploring its secrets. Coimbra, nestled between mountains and the sea, combines a rich history with a welcoming climate. Once Portugal’s first capital, it shaped early kings and witnessed legendary stories. I offer tours through its diverse eras, so you can truly experience Coimbra through time—Roman, Moorish, Medieval, Renaissance, Enlightenment, Dictatorship, and beyond. My tours can focus on Coimbra’s history and culture, or cater to your interests in art, architecture, or food. All experiences are tailored just for you. Looking forward to hearing from you soon :)
