The University and the Joanina Library

The Joanina admits 50 people every 20 minutes on a printed slot and refuses anyone outside it, so queue handling here is worth more than it sounds.

· University circuit with tickets, 90 minutes

Ninety minutes around the University of Coimbra with entry handled by the guide rather than at the kiosk, so the group is not standing in the ticket queue on the hill. The route covers the Paco das Escolas and the university's ceremonial spaces. Run for small groups by RM Tour, and the deepest review pool of any university listing here.

· University and city centre in one walk

Two to three hours pairing the university hill with the streets underneath it, so the walk covers both halves of the old town rather than one. The university sits in the Alta, the part of Coimbra UNESCO inscribed in 2013 along with Rua da Sofia, and the descent into the Baixa is the rest of the story.

· University tour with tickets, former student

Ninety minutes around the University of Coimbra with the tickets included and a former student of the university leading, in groups of about ten. The University's own combined ticket is 16.50 EUR and carries a timed slot for the Joanina library, which is what makes a guided version with entry handled worth comparing.
