Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Take a trip on the Basofias boat, its worth it and you can admire both sides of the city. Its takes about an hour and you pay like 6 euros or something so, not that expensive. You have also a small bar on the boat .

The Mondego river mouth is not too different from other river mouths, what seems to make it unique is the little former fishing boat harbour now turned into yacht and slightly bogger boats' harbour.

Nothing spectacular. A few average bridges, over a moderate sized river, with seemingly clear water that offers good views.

The city is on a river and you can see it from many vantage points in the upper city where the University lies. Some bridges and the hills beyond.

Just another river entering the Atlantic. Typical commercial boats and some sightseeing boats. Would not go out of my way to visit it.

Have a question - is there any way to cross the river near Figueira da Foz other than via the motorway?

Hi, can anyone confirm that there are boat trips this week, please? We went down to the river near the big car park but couldn't find any information? Thank you.

Caro viajante, não sei de momento os horários do Basófias, o barco que navega na bacia do Mondego em Coimbra, mas penso que só a partir de meados de Março volta a circular pois nesta altura aproveito para para fazer reparações. Abraço

Where does the boat go from and to? Can we buy tickets in advance and does the operator have website?
