Coimbra Independent Holidays : Hidden Gems of Central Portugal

This is an independent sightseeing holiday based in Coimbra, the main city of central Portugal, travelling through the heartland of the country.

Spreading around the margins of the tranquil Mondego River, Coimbra, home to one of the oldest Universities in the world, it’s a city full of history and heritage.

From here, you’ll start a journey to Serra do Bussaco, both a mountain and a botanical garden, to the Lousã Mountains, to the quaint “schist villages”, and to the beautiful beaches and coastline of Figueira da Foz.
