a Guided Tour — University of Coimbra
The University of Coimbra is the oldest Portuguese university and for centuries the only university in Portugal. In June 2013, UNESCO classified the University of Coimbra as World Heritage Site, for its unquestionable value for the History and Portuguese Culture – thus rewarding the effort and dedication of those who every day works to preserve, enhance and especially share its heritage with the World. The meeting point will be at Pátio e Paço das Escolas (Royal Palace).
