      Inhabited since pre-Historic times, Conímbriga was occupied by Roman troops in 139 BC and it became the prosperous capital city of the Lusitania province. In the next century, during the reign of Emperor Augustus, the urban part of the city grew. It was during this period that some of the most important buildings for everyday life in a Roman city were build such as the forum, the amphitheatre and the thermal baths. Later, a three-nave basilica was built in the town’s centre. You can also visit the Museum where several rooms will take you to everyday life at this Roman city through objects discovered after many years of excavations, its religious life, architecture manor houses and their decoration and even life at the forum.

    Excellent small group tour with excellent guide.

    Excellent small group tour. Alfredo the guide was very knowledgeable and did a great job. Trip well planned. The tour provided detailed information about the Roman culture. The museums were good. The ruins covered a very large area and were amazing. Highly recommend this tour

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your nice review and recommendation. It was a pleasure meeting you and doing this tour with you!

    Ancient Roman Settlement at Conimbraga

    Alfredo was a great guide and made for a just perfect day. Alfredo has so much energy, enthusiasm, and knowledge of the ancient sites and surrounding areas. This tour is absolutely worth your time and money, and is one of the memorable days that I’ve had in past few years.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your nice review. It was a pleasure meeting you and doing this tour with you!

    Great tour…Alfredo knows this site very well.

    I was very happy with the tour of Conimbriga by Alfredo. He knows the site very well and has a clear itinerary to hit the principal areas, like walls, governor’s house, palestra, forum, ending at the phenomenal House of the Fountains. We spent about 2 hours at the ruins, including a brief stop at the museum. Whether or not you decide to use a guide, if you are in Coimbra or walking the Camino, it is well worth a stop. Alfredo included a bonus stop at the Castellum in Alcabideque which really closed out this trip back 2000 years in time. Alfredo coordinates the tour with pick-up / drop-off at select hotels in Coimbra Baixa but was flexible with our pick up because we were coming off the Camino de Santiago trail which passes right in front of the site. We even had the pleasure of being escorted by Simba, Alfredo’s German shepherd, who was surprisingly at home among the ruins.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your nice review. It was a pleasure meeting you and doing this tour with you!

    Conimbriga - excellent tour and guide!

    The tour was excellent. Our guide Alfredo provided so much great information and explanation of the Roman ruins site at Conímbriga and the museums we visited. If we had visited the ruins on our own, we would not have known the richness and intricacies of the experience. It was definitely a five-star experience!

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your nice review. It was a pleasure meeting you and doing this tour with you!

    Conimbriga and The Roman Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Coimbra.

    How much does Conimbriga and The Roman Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $103 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Coimbra usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Conimbriga and The Roman Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Coimbra is not rushed.

    Is Conimbriga and The Roman Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 84 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 139 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Coimbra, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Conimbriga and The Roman Tour?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Conimbriga and The Roman Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Conimbriga and The Roman Tour?

    +

    Around 49 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Coimbra can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Coimbra and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Conimbriga and The Roman Tour start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Coimbra within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Coimbra?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Coimbra experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Coimbra Top Attractions Walking Tour, Discovering the charms and places of Coimbra, Soft Canyoning, river Ceira, Góis, Serra da Lousa, Coimbra. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Coimbra?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Coimbra?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Conimbriga and The Roman Tour?

    +

    Included: One souvenir photo; Driver/guide; Hotel pickup and drop-off (if option selected); In-vehicle air conditioning; and Professional photographer guide. Not included: Food and drinks, unless specified; and Souvenir photos without logos (available to purchase). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Conimbriga and The Roman Tour include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 7 listed pickup locations in and around Coimbra. Be ready about 5 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Conimbriga and The Roman Tour offered in?

    +

    It is offered in Portuguese, English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Conimbriga and The Roman Tour?

    +

    Is Conimbriga and The Roman Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller; and Specialized infant seats are available. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Conimbriga and The Roman Tour if the weather is bad?

    +

    This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
