Review & FAQ:
Nestled in a bend of the Mondego River, Coimbra is a vibrant university town with an incredibly rich history. Not only is it the country's former medieval capital, but it's also home to the oldest university in Portugal, a UNESCO World Heritage site with a magnificent baroque library and an 18th-century bell tower that offers stunning views of the city. After touring the university, you can learn about the city's fascinating history at the Machado de Castro National Museum, admire the beautiful Quinta das Lágrimas gardens, or relax at a cafe with a delicious Santa Clara pastry.
