Jardim Botanico

Enter my world. A visit to the Botanic Garden is like traveling around the planet earth without leaving the city. The plant collections which occupy every corner of the Garden take us on a journey to distinct latitudes and regions of the world, thus transforming the Garden into a living museum. Located in the heart of the city of Coimbra since 1772, when it was founded by the then prime-minister Sebastião José de Carvalho e Melo (Marquis of Pombal), the Botanic Garden covers a total area of more than 13 ha, most of which donated by Benedict monks.

9.4/10 Exceptional! (188 reviews)
Apartment is 22 step walk up but worth it. Great location, very clean and well supplied. Staff are incredibly helpful. Everything is in great condition. A side table next to the couch and bedroom would be valued additions.
