Planning your visit to Convento São Francisco

Convento de São Francisco is about 80 m away; use buses 6, 244, 49, 13 and 31. Mosteiro de Santa Clara-a-Velha is about 220 m away; use buses 14, 6, 244, 49, 38, 22F, 13P and 41. Coimbra-B railway station is approximately 2.4 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 60 m away at Avenida da Guarda Inglesa 1 A (10 spaces, covered); 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 Avenida da Guarda Inglesa 1A, 3040-193, Coimbra. From Convento de São Francisco, allow for an approximately 80 m final walk and follow signs to the public visitor entrance.
