LISBON AIRPORT TO COIMBRA
Taxi from Lisbon Airport to Coimbra
Coimbra is one of Portugal’s great historic cities, rising in terraces above the Mondego river and home to one of the oldest universities in Europe. It is about 197 km from Lisbon Airport and the transfer takes around 1 hour 52 minutes.
A long journey is where a private driver makes the biggest difference: no train connections, no heavy bags to move between stations, and a comfortable vehicle all the way to your door. We can also arrange a return journey or a stop on the way.
WHAT TO SEE
Highlights in and around Coimbra
The old town
Steep, narrow streets lead from the river up to the Old Cathedral and the university.
The Mondego riverfront
Promenades and bridges offer views back up the hill, especially at sunset.
Portugal dos Pequenitos
A miniature park of Portuguese landmarks, popular with families.
THE JOURNEY
Getting to Coimbra
Most of the route is on the north-bound motorway, which is comfortable and fast. Your driver can make a short stop on the way for a break or a coffee if you ask.
Good to know
- The old town is steep and partly closed to traffic, so we will agree the nearest drop-off with you.
- Visiting on a day trip? Ask about a return booking so your driver waits or collects you later.
- Travelling with a group or lots of luggage? Tell us so we can send a larger vehicle.
