Figueira da Foz Tour
After meeting on Emídio Navarro Av. in Coimbra, you'll be taken to the coastal city of Figueira da Foz, starting at Praia da Claridade, a popular beach among locals.

This Medieval fortress, built between the 10th and 15th centuries, served as a residence for Portugal's royal family. Located on a hilltop, it overlooks valleys and has witnessed historical battles. Discover the legends surrounding the castle.
The tour concludes with a tasting of the typical Portuguese pastry Pastel de Tentúgal, known for its combination of filo pastry, cinnamon, eggs, and sugar.
