Stories of Roman daily life and traditions from your guide throughout

Step back nearly two thousand years on this guided journey through Conimbriga, the best-preserved Roman city in Portugal. We start at the ancient castellum, the source that fed the city's Roman aqueduct, before heading to the PO.RO.S - Roman Portugal Museum in Sicó, a modern multimedia and virtual museum that sets the scene for what you're about to see on site. From there we explore the ruins of Conimbriga itself, including the House of the Fountains, famous for its extraordinarily well-preserved mosaics depicting mythology, the seasons, and animals. Walking among the streets and foundations of this once quasi-imperial city, I'll share stories of Roman daily life, habits, and traditions to bring the stones back to life. We finish at the Monographic Museum of Conimbriga, where the artifacts recovered from decades of excavation give a fuller picture of Roman Portugal. This is a great fit for history lovers and anyone curious about the ancient world.
