FAQs about hotels in Coimbra

A Seat of Learning and Royalty

Portugal’s medieval capital, and a pioneer of fado music alongside its modern counterpart Lisbon, Coimbra is a vibrant university city with a good helping of historic sights.

The university is the country’s oldest and its attractive buildings cover a small hill overlooking the Mondego River. The institution has an excellent science museum, the ornate Joanina Library, and one of the world’s oldest botanical gardens which contributes to the lush landscape.

The midweek nightlife in the city’s bars and restaurants is popular with students, while shopping options range from the stores of the CoimbraShopping complex to smaller boutiques on cobbled streets in the historic Baixa district.

The medieval centre houses the museum of Coimbran sculptor Machado de Castro and the Old Cathedral, begun under the reign of the first Portuguese King, Afonso Henriques. He is buried in Santa Cruz Monastery, while the tomb of a later queen – Elizabeth of Aragon – is in the Monastery of Santa Clara-a-Nova. She founded this hilltop convent to replace flood-prone Santa Clara-a-Velha below. Between them is Portugal dos Pequenitos where Portugal’s main monuments are reproduced in miniature.

Nearby is Quinta das Lágrimas, a 19th-century mansion that is now a luxury hotel on Booking.com. Also available are cheap hostels and guest houses near the 2 main train stations.

    We loved the University and seeing the students walk around in their capes. The library is a high point, and be sure to look for the bats' entry points outside it. The restaurant, Dux Taberna Urbana has great food- try the tuna tataki and if you're really adventurous, the octopus- and a wonderful ambiance. Also, while probably not on everyone's "to do" list, stop at the Palácio da Justiça (Palace of Justice) to see the magnificent tiles.

    The university are is historic and filled with interesting sites. Definitely arrange for a guided tour of the university. We used one of the free tour guides, but opted to ask for a customized university-only tour. We spent over an hour and the campus tour could have gone longer. It is definitely worth buying the 3-fold ticket to access the palace, the chapel and the library. DON’T MISS THE LIBRARY! You need a timed-entry ticket for the library, so buy on line early in the day — or the day before. If you are interested in Jewish history, there is a relatively new Jewish Museum (opens at 1:00pm) and also a mikvah (not yet open to the public)

    Such a pretty city with all that you could want.

    Such a pretty city with all that you could want. Parks with lovely walking, including the botanic garden. Shopping if that is what you are into, or just walking down the pretty streets and viewing the lovely boutiques. Loads of restaurants and cafes. We even found some vegetarian and vegan options for eating. Strolling along the river is also very pleasurable. Must see university campus. And if you are there during December, the Christmas market is fantastic!

    I was on a business-related trip, so sadly had no opportunity to be a sightseer. I visited in early November, when max daytime temps were 22-24 deg-C (72-75 degrees in Freedom Units). The cost of food and drinks was a fraction of elsewhere in Europe/UK, and my experience was the staff at restaurants were helpful and very friendly, and the food of excellent quality. I wish I could have stayed longer and "gotten lost" here.

    We had no knowledge of Coimbra before going there - it was just a convenient half way point between Lisbon & Porto. But it is definitely our favourite town that we visited in Portugal. We stayed at the edge of the old town & had access to many restaurants & bars. We loved walking along cobbled streets through the medieval town & up to the university, which is a highlight of Coimbra. A charming town with the right balance of ancient & modern

    it is a very stylish boutique hotel, located just next to the university campus (all historical buildings, plus a short walk downhill to the city centre). it has an excellent restaurant and super helpful staff. The building is old yet refurbished with good taste. It was a perfect finish of my tour around Portugal. Bonus: a sweet turtle girl lives in the garden fountain.

    The charm and history of the building, the restaurant (one of the best in the region), the pool, and last but not least the staff. While hospitality is very good in Portugal, the team of Quinta das Lagrimas was simply the best on my trip. SO kind, helpful and professional. Bravo!

    Is not the first time I stay at Tivoli. Is a well located and organized hotel. The team are so efficient and so kind. It seems that everything is possible when you ask something to them. They are professional and this gives me a lot of proud of Coimbra and Portugal.
