Quite a bit is imported (mainly from Flanders), and is supposedly 'nativised' - I'm not sure what's wrong with embracing it as Flemish in its own right but anyway it's still excellent art. There're also some Roman remains and a few sculptures underneath, so you get even more bang for your buck. Admission is only 6€ and the collection is pretty big. There's some oriental objects too.

Me and my husband went to this place as we had understood the place to me a miniature city of the…read moremost important places in Portugal and it's previous colonies. However the disappointment was enormous when we found out, that the quite expensive entrance fee was more or less for a playground. The miniature buildings from around Portugal and it's colonies was nicely executed, but the explanations are ONLY in Portuguese - even the cinemas - and kids was all over the place. Finding a nice restaurant or bar for a refreshments is non existent. The place has so much potential, but doesn't succeed with it. The recommendations for couples without kids are to stay away. For the rest you can get amazing pictures of your young ones on buildings you might have seen during your vacation in Portugal.

Since they grow olives they also press their own olive oil which is excellent. The piri-piri is also homemade with their olive oil instead of cheap sunflower oil. The fig with cheese and the chicken wings piri-piri was fun. The fresh fish looked great. If you only stop in for the cheesecake then you will have made a great stop.

I opted for the Garlic Shrimp which had their heads on, also very good. My wife chose a funky dish for her main, looked like ham and eggs, 4 fried eggs over Spanish ham which is over potatoes. Unique and great. I chose an excellent trio, octopus, calamari, and shrimp over small roasted potatoes. Accompanied by a vegetable medley, squash, zucchini, carrots , and mushrooms. Great. I highly recommend Dux Taberna Urbana for a memorable dining experience

If you are looking to get away from the bustling touristic center of Coimbra then cross the river and relax at the Galeria.
