About this excursion

Discover Portugal’s city of knowledge and one of its most atmospheric sacred forests on a private full-day tour from Porto to Coimbra and Buçaco.

With a licensed driver-guide and premium private vehicle, begin in Coimbra, where royal memory, religious heritage and academic tradition meet in one of Portugal’s most historic cities.

Shape the morning with one optional cultural visit: the University of Coimbra with Joanina Library, Royal Palace and Chapel of São Miguel; the Romanesque Old Cathedral; or the Monastery of Santa Cruz, linked to Portugal’s first kings.

After Arco de Almedina and flexible lunch time, continue to Buçaco National Forest, a protected woodland shaped by Carmelite retreat, rare trees, fountains and chapels.

Finish with the exterior of Buçaco Palace and an optional full visit to the former Carmelite convent.
