Marvel at Coimbra, the largest city in Portugal’s Centro Region, beautifully set on a hill above the River Mondego. On this cycle tour you’ll pass the historic Roman aqueduct built between 1568 and 1570, and discover countless impressive buildings that reflect Coimbra’s long and fascinating past.
Enjoy scenic bridges and remarkable churches such as the Old Cathedral (Sé Velha) and the Monastery of Santa Cruz, a National Monument of the city. Coimbra is also famous as the home of the University of Coimbra, one of the oldest universities in Europe; its historic university complex was recognized in 2013 as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Ride through Coimbra by day and by night and experience how the city’s atmosphere changes—especially when the landmarks glow under beautiful evening lights.
