Description

Wander through the narrow, storied streets of Coimbra’s old downtown — the Baixa — where every corner reveals a piece of Portugal’s culinary and cultural soul. This exclusive GO! Walks Portugal experience is more than a food tour: it’s a journey through flavours, crafts, and traditions that have shaped Portuguese life for generations.

You’ll stop to savour iconic local bites and traditional drinks, all while exploring the city’s historic commercial heart. Along the way, you’ll learn about the beautiful objects that have long adorned Portuguese tables: hand-painted ceramics, fine linens, and the stories they carry.

Whenever possible, we’ll visit Coimbra’s vibrant local market — a feast for the senses — where colourful produce, fresh fish, flowers, cheeses, and other regional delicacies await. And to finish? A sweet dive into doçaria conventual: centuries-old convent recipes passed down by nuns and lovingly preserved by local gastronomic brotherhoods.

This tour is fully customizable to your preferences, including any food intolerances or allergies. Vegetarian and vegan versions are available — just let us know when booking.
