The “gateway to the Estrela”, this lively University city was founded on money from the wool trade. Discover this history at the Museu de Lanifícios. 14km away in the village of Pêraboa, you can discover another local craft at the Cheese Museum – Museu do Queijo. Covilhã is also home to the Serra Shopping Centre, with many Portuguese and international brands, while the city also offers good eating at a range of quality restaurants.

This mountain town is only a few kilometers from the highest point in mainland Portugal. People come in winter for one of Portugal’s only ski resorts, and in summer to marvel at the granite peaks, lakes and hike in the forest. In Covilhã it’s fun to see how the town has adapted to its impossible terrain to help you get around on foot, equipping it with a panoramic elevator, funicular trains, and the incredible Ponte da Ribeira da Carpinteria pedestrian bridge. It’s a town anchored in tradition, and there’s a first-rate museum documenting the wool industry, which supported Covilhã for almost 300 years up to the 1900s.
