Planning your visit to Casa das Artes Bissaya Barreto

Castro Matoso is about 30 m away; use buses 5, 33, 6, 24, 11, 5T, 5F and 42T. Praça da República is about 240 m away; use buses 25T, 25, 19T, 19A, 19R, 19, 7 and 5. Coimbra-B railway station is approximately 2.5 km away in a straight line; use the live SMTUC and Metrobus network planner for the station connection and current platform direction.

If the named nearby car park is full, use a signed municipal facility around Parque Verde do Mondego, the lower city or Praça da República, then continue on foot or by bus. The Alta has steep, narrow and access-controlled streets, so verify the final approach before driving uphill.

The nearest mapped cycle parking is about 10 m away at Rua Castro Matoso 17 (5 spaces, uncovered); use a proper lock and do not assume the stand is monitored. Coimbra's riverside cycle corridors are the easiest approach; routes into the Alta are steep, and shared bicycles or scooters must be left only at an authorised parking point.

Navigate to Rua Castro Matoso 17, 3000-104, Coimbra. From Castro Matoso, allow for an approximately 30 m final walk and follow signs to the public visitor entrance. The approach into Coimbra's Alta can be steep and cobbled; visitors who need a gentler route should use public transport as high as practical.
