Starting at the botanical garden, we go to "Alta", university, Joanina library and museums. Passing the Mondego River we go to the convent of St.ª Clara-a-Velha. Going up we reach the foot of Queen St.ª Isabel's tomb in the convent of St.ª Clara. Returning to the city, we pass by the Church of St.ª Cruz and the tomb of D. Afonso Henriques. We went up to the Sereia garden and finally to the penedo da saudade. We end with a "toast of Honor".
