If you don’t have the tickets (including one for me) I will only do the tour outside.

Regarding the Library: The ideal timeslot should be 20 or 40 minutes after the tour start time. Please note that the university is strict about the timeslot schedule.

The explanation about the Barroque Library will be given outside. The reason is that I will not be able to reserve a timeslot for myself if it is already sold out. However, an explanation will be provided in advance for a better understanding of the interior space.

During the summer Coimbra can be very hot, so be prepared with water, sun protection and comfortable shoes.
In the event of rain, don’t forget some protection as there are no sheltered areas along many parts of the route
The route takes you up the hillside, part of which is made up of stairs.
Some of the stairs have handrails, but not all of them
