Trip Info

There are 29 classified buildings and lots of things to speak about during this visit, so we will combine information both from Material Heritage… and Immaterial Heritage (we’re former students of this University, so we know all about that first-hand!).

♠ Coimbra fado, Academic Tunas, Academic “Hazing”, Anti-Motion, Rasganço, “Burning of the Ribbons”, “Party of Cans”, among others!
