- How many days do you need in Coimbra?

- 115 of the 120 experiences we rank in Coimbra offer free cancellation, usually up to 24 hours before the start time. The exact window is shown on each experience page before you book.
- How does the Outty Ranking work?
- Every experience in Coimbra gets a single 0 to 100 score built from traveler sentiment, the depth of review evidence, recent booking momentum, price fairness against comparable options in the same city, operator standing and cancellation flexibility. Scores are benchmarked within Coimbra so a strong local option is not buried by global volume, and anything at 90 or above joins the Outty 90+ Club.
