Book a transfer from Porto to Coimbra — from the Douro River wine city to Portugal's ancient intellectual heart, home to one of the world's oldest and most beautiful universities.
The 120 km journey takes 1 to 1.5 hours heading south via the A1 motorway through the green Minho and Beira Litoral countryside, past vineyards and pine forests.
Coimbra was Portugal's medieval capital and has been a center of learning since 1290, when its university was founded — one of the oldest in continuous operation in the world. The UNESCO-listed University of Coimbra crowns the hilltop, and its Joanina Library is one of the most stunning Baroque libraries ever built. The black-caped students still parade through narrow medieval streets, fado music originated here (Coimbra fado is distinct from Lisbon's), and the Old Cathedral (Se Velha), the Machado de Castro Museum, and the riverside Santa Clara Monastery add layers of history. The botanical garden and the lively student nightlife along the Mondego River make Coimbra vibrant year-round.
