Here’s an overview of your tour
Conimbriga is a veritable pearl of the Roman legacy left in Portugal... a city of enormous dimensions, constantly undergoing archaeological excavations (a never-ending job), it is currently in the process of applying to become a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Be dazzled by the museum, full of various finds from this city (such as coins, knives, games, glass, ceramics), the extraordinary fountain house, the walls, the cantaber house, or the forum....
Conimbriga is prepared for tourism. It has a café, toilets and even a restaurant.
Regarding accessibility in the Roman city: it's flat, easy walking.
It would be great for tourists to be able to indicate their age on each booking, as this is always important when buying tickets to Conimbriga (different prices depending on age).
