Coimbra Private Day from Lisbon: University & Joanina Library
Overview
Spend a private day in the city where Portugal was born. Coimbra was the kingdom's first capital, home to its oldest university and the resting place of its first two kings. Step inside the Baroque Joanina Library, walk the UNESCO Paço das Escolas, stand in the Romanesque Old Cathedral and before the royal tombs at Santa Cruz. Entry to the Joanina Library is by timed slot, visits are limited to a short window inside, and slots sell out in high season. We book your entry in advance, so you never miss your window or waste it in a queue. A fully private experience: your pace, with pickup in Lisbon and all entrance tickets included. While most tours rush Coimbra as a quick stop on a fixed schedule, you set the rhythm, with time for the old town. Prefer to go deeper into history? Choose the Coimbra + Conímbriga option and add the best-preserved Roman city on the Iberian Peninsula, a short drive south, with its famous mosaics and 2,000-year-old streets, entrance included.
