Embark on an unforgettable private journey from Sintra to two of Portugal's most enchanting destinations: the academic heart of Coimbra and the picturesque 'Portuguese Venice,' Aveiro.
Your adventure begins in Coimbra, a city steeped in history and culture. Known for its narrow, winding streets, medieval arches, and hidden courtyards, Coimbra is home to one of the world's oldest universities. You will walk in the footsteps of scholars as you explore the stunning campus, which stands as a testament to the city’s Roman roots, originally known as ConÃmbriga. The atmosphere here is truly magical, blending ancient traditions with a vibrant student life.
After soaking up the intellectual history of Coimbra, we head north to the coastal gem of Aveiro. Built alongside the beautiful Ria de Aveiro lagoon, this city is famous for its colorful 'moliceiro' boats. Historically used for harvesting seaweed, these vibrant vessels now offer a unique way to view the city's stunning Art Nouveau architecture. Stroll along the canals, admire the iconic Cathedral of Aveiro with its prominent steeple, and indulge in the local sweet delicacy, 'ovos moles,' before heading back to the comfort of your starting point in Sintra.
This private tour is designed for those who appreciate a personalized experience.
