Veado Verde / Green Deer

Boat trips on the Mondego River. The only way to contemplate the beautiful landscape of Coimbra from the river Mondego, is on board the iconic boat "O Basófias". "O Basófias" is a maritime-tourist vessel with a capacity for up to 60 passengers, and provides a unique and exclusive experience to enjoy the city. On a 50 minutes boat trip, you can admire all the monuments overlooking the river, such as the University of Coimbra, the Old Cathedral, Almedina´s Tower, Santa Clara-a-Velha Monastery, as well as some medieval architecture, and a contemporary one, such as the Portugal´s Pavilion. If you come in an organized group, you can also have lunch or dinner on board. At the end of the meal, it is also possible to appreciate what best represents the city's culture - “Fado de Coimbra”.
