English From €225 to Coimbra
For up to 4 passengers with luggage, with no late-arrival surcharge.
Coimbra is Portugal's university city: one of Europe's oldest universities crowns a hill above the Mondego river, home to the gilded Joanina Library and a student tradition of black capes. When you book with Zonetransfers, your driver tracks your flight and waits for you in Terminal 1 and takes you straight to Coimbra, from €225 for the whole car.
It is a straight run north on the A1 with no detours. In 1 h 50 min your driver drops you in the Baixa, in the upper town by the university or across the river in Santa Clara. Expect around 200 km driven in 1 h 50 min, with the whole vehicle from €225. Zonetransfers sends your voucher with a 24/7 phone number.

If you are staying in the upper town near the university, some streets are narrow and pedestrian only. Give us the name of your accommodation and we will get you as close as possible.
