This tour aims to fill a gap that seems to me to be serious in the tourism sector in Coimbra, to show those who visit us some of our typical stores in the historic area, and our traditions. Extraordinary new ideas have sprung up, and old businesses have remained... but they face stiff competition from the online market and shopping centers. Few who visit us know what to try or which establishments to visit. They don't know, for example, that there Coimbra's typical weaving store (with the opportunity to see the work), or traditional soaps from the region, but also vinyls, or even socks produced in this area, or even handmade ceramics from the city. Tourists will always have some time to visit the stores, if they wish, and do their shopping Local commerce deserves to be valued! Tourists deserve to know what to buy and where to buy typical local/national products, they deserve to fully enjoy Coimbra. Are you ready for a great adventure... shall we go?
