Day Trips from Porto to Coimbra

4 tours · €55–€200 per person · ★ 4.8

Looking for a Coimbra tour from Porto? Coimbra is the old university city about halfway to Lisbon, and a guided day trip is the easy way to see it without renting a car or working out train times. Booking a Coimbra day trip from Porto sorts out the transport, a driver-guide and a route that actually fits into one day.

Before you book, check the itinerary. We'd look for a tour that takes you up to the old university and the Joanina library, then leaves time to wander the old town down to the river. A lot of full-day trips pair Coimbra with Aveiro and its canals, or with Nazaré on the coast, which is a smart way to see more in one go, so compare which combination suits you. Private tours give you flexible timing and the pick of viewpoints; small-group options keep the price friendly and still hit the highlights.

4 Coimbra tours from €55. Private and small-group full-day trips from Porto, hotel pickup and free cancellation on most - easy to book online.
