I suggest bringing your own water and snacks from outside. The prices inside can be pretty high, and there are some nice places to sit and enjoy a picnic.

If you can, visit during the week instead of the weekend. The crowds can be insane on Saturdays, and you'll find it much easier to explore on a Tuesday or Wednesday.

I think taking the time to sit in the chapel and soak in the atmosphere is a must. I almost skipped it but ended up feeling really moved by the experience.

I suggest going in the morning around 9 AM when it opens... There were fewer people and I could really soak in the beauty of the architecture without feeling rushed

I suggest taking your time in the cloisters and the collections on the upper floors. There's a lot to see, and it can be easy to rush through it all. Enjoy the atmosphere and the views of Coimbra!

If you can, visit on a weekday right when it opens at 10 AM. You'll beat the crowds and have a more personal experience with the amazing art.

My advice is to check out any local eateries before or after your visit. There's a cute little cafe a short walk away where you can grab a bite without breaking the bank. Eating there made the whole day feel more local and cozy!
