Coimbra Typical Food & Historical Free Tour

Immerse yourself in the rich history and rich culinary traditions of Coimbra on this 3-hour walking food tour. Starting at the iconic Café Santa Cruz, right beside the historic Santa Cruz Monastery, you will explore the heart of downtown Coimbra and uncover its royal and academic heritage.

As we wander past landmarks such as the local municipal market and up towards the ancient Sé Velha (Old Cathedral), you will experience genuine Portuguese hospitality. Along the way, indulge in tastings of regional cheeses, carefully paired local wines, traditional tapas, and savory specialties such as "ossos", chanfana, or suckling pig.

The experience concludes at the bustling Largo da Portagem near the Mondego river, where we will treat our sweet tooth to the crispy and delicate conventual pastry, Pastel de Tentúgal. Perfect for foodies and culture lovers looking to experience the true essence of Coimbra.
