Tourism in Portugal

The surrounding region of Coimbra has a multitude of great attractions, suiting all tastes and budgets. From the endless white sandy beaches of Figueira da Foz to the charming Schist Villages of Lousã Mountain, from the fairy tale Bussaco national woods to the imposing castle of Montemor-o-Velho, from the Roman heritage sites to the Medieval flair of Penela.

Embraced by the Mondego River, the enchanting city of Coimbra has countless attractions on both sides of the river. 

Center of Portugal is the ideal place to travel with kids! From a miniature Portugal at Portugal dos Pequenitos, in Coimbra, to the real scale dinosaurs of Dino Parque Lourinhã, near Peniche, there's a magical world to unveil by both grown-ups and children. Toy museums, live science centres, fascinating caves, biological parks. Center of Portugal at the heart of pure amusement! Because playing is a very serious matter indeed. 

The Alcobaça apple is a unique blend of nine apple varieties. It's a Protected Geographical Indication  product and a focal point for a local tourism route, with a harvest period from August to November, known for its exceptional taste and crispness due to Alcobaça's micro-climate.
