Highlights

This is a new product offered by RM Tour in Coimbra. A private tour for those who love history and want to get the most out of their guide. RM Tour was born from the idea of transforming visits to the University of Coimbra into a unique experience, transforming the guided tour into a pleasant experience of knowledge and cultural enrichment in an interesting way. Therefore, in our company we always seek to combine the beautiful history of the University of Coimbra with the present day and its customs that permeate our institution to this day. This was all made possible by the training we have in the areas of history, sociology and tourism.

About Coimbra

Coimbra is a hill city on the Mondego River in central Portugal, home to a centuries-old university, a baroque library and its own style of fado.

Coimbra rises above the Mondego River in central Portugal and was the country's capital in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. Its university, founded in 1290 and settled in Coimbra from 1537, is the oldest in Portugal, and the old campus on the hill is a UNESCO site with the gilded Joanina Library and a tall clock tower. Students still wear black academic capes.
