Coimbra & Fatima Tour

"The University of Coimbra, located in Paço das Escolas and founded in the 13th century, is one of the oldest universities in Europe and an indispensable symbol of Portuguese academic life. The architectural ensemble reflects centuries of history linked to teaching, culture and science, and is classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The Penedo da Saudade, created in the 19th century, is a symbolic space associated with the student tradition of Coimbra. It is a mirage and literary garden where you can find inscriptions and poetic references linked to academic memory and the feeling of farewell.
