VIP Joanina Library & Coimbra University | led by former students

Step into the heart of Portugal’s most prestigious university — with VIP access and in the company of an official, passionate local guide.

As a certified guide and travel consultant since 2012, and a proud graduate of the University of Coimbra in Tourism, Leisure & Heritage, I’ll give you an insider’s perspective on this UNESCO World Heritage Site. Together with my handpicked team of guides, we’ll adapt the tour to your pace and interests — no rushed group visits here.

This exclusive experience gives you direct access to the Royal Palace, the stunning St. Michael's Chapel, and the breathtaking Joanina Library — one of the most beautiful libraries in the world, often closed to general visitors.

More than just facts and dates, we’ll share the legends, student traditions, and hidden stories that bring centuries of Portuguese history to life. Whether you're a curious traveler, a history lover, or simply looking to be amazed — this is your moment to discover Coimbra like few ever do.
