About this experience
Discover the most romantic and secret side of Coimbra, away from the crowds. In this guided experience, we cross the Mondego River to explore Santa Clara — one of the city’s most fascinating places where stories of love, tragedy and spirituality cross. We start at the majestic Monastery of Santa Clara-a-Velha, a unique place marked by the floods of Mondego, where time seems to have stopped. Between ruins and silence, you will discover how the Clarisses lived and the challenges they faced over the centuries. We then head to the imposing Monastery of Santa Clara-a-Nova, built to replace the old monastery. Here rests one of the most beloved figures of Portugal — the Queen Santa Isabel — wrapped in legends of miracles and devotion. The journey continues to the charming Quinta das Lágrimas, the scene of one of the most tragic love stories in Portuguese history: Pedro and Inês. Between gardens and fountains, you will revive this intense narrative that has gone through centuries.

Why this scores 62
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Walking tour of Coimbra history of Peter and Inês the Holy Queen: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Coimbra.
How much does Walking tour of Coimbra history of Peter and Inês the Holy Queen cost?
+
Prices start at $30 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 Walking tour of Coimbra history of Peter and Inês the Holy Queen take?
+
Plan for about 10 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 Walking tour of Coimbra history of Peter and Inês the Holy Queen worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (0/5 across 0 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 Walking tour of Coimbra history of Peter and Inês the Holy Queen?
+
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 Walking tour of Coimbra history of Peter and Inês the Holy Queen suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Walking tour of Coimbra history of Peter and Inês the Holy Queen?
+
Around 0 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 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Walking tour of Coimbra history of Peter and Inês the Holy Queen 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, An adventure through the Schist Villages of Lousã, Schist Villages at Lousa Mountain. 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.
