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 were lucky enough to arrive during the last week of term for the university students, which made the town lively and interesting. The tour of the university , particularly the library, was fascinating. It was also lovely to walk through the old town, eat pastries, listen to music and absorb the atmosphere. Sitting in the Botanic gardens with a book in the afternoon sunshine was an opportunity to relax in otherwise busy days.

Coimbra is a delightful town to visit.
Coimbra is a delightful town to visit. The town is architecturally pleasing, with clean, safe, streets, and a refreshing lack of graffiti. There is a good choice of hotels and restaurants, and those that we patronized were of good quality, with helpful staff, all of whom, in our experience spoke good English.

Our accommodation had the perfect location; we walked everywhere. The nearby restaurants were serving great food. Our street had 2 nice restaurants that were frequented by locals, and the prices were very reasonable compared to the more touristy places.

Coimbra is a great city to visit and use as base to explore other locations in central Portugal. Make sure you wear comfy shoes, the cobbles streets and walking is often up steep hills. The library is worth viewing at the university, but make sure you book in advance or get there early, as they have limited tickets and time slots. The parks are beautiful along the river and worth taking the time to visit. If adventuring out, highly recommend Obidos and the Buddha Eden garden, as well as Aveiro and Costa Nova.JulesUnited Kingdom - 10Scored 10
Coimbra has a lot to offer travelers.
Coimbra has a lot to offer travelers. Centro (old part of town) is very lovely and has a lot to see. Many small interesting roads and pathways to walk around and see beautiful buildings, historical churchs, shops, cafes...Restaurants are reasonably priced and there is a variety of different cuisines to accommodate everyone. We stayed one night, but could have easily stayed another night.PierretteCanada - 10Scored 10

Coimbra is a great city with very interesting historical sites and churches. Interesting shops and restaurants. the Igreja santo Christo is especially good to visit situated in a lovely square.

- From $144.28 per night9.7Scored 9.7ExceptionalRated exceptional· 870 reviewsThe owner and staff here were some of the friendliest folks we met during our ten days in Portugal. They're super welcoming and give you a concise rundown of what to see in Coimbra (including a map and walking instructions). There's a wonderful little courtyard to enjoy a little wine and snack. As others have mentioned, the breakfast was a phenomenal spread with fresh fruits, cheeses, pastries, meats, coffee, tea and fresh-squeezed juice.
BradUnited States of America - From $86.57 per night9.1Scored 9.1WonderfulRated wonderful· 1,160 reviewsPretty nice hotel centrally located. Walking distance to the most important sites to visit in Coimbra. I did like the fact that you can have access to the building and room by door code. Ricardo is very hospitable, please follow up his instructions to walk around the city, due to the hills in the city. The hotel is very clean, modern, comfortable. I do recommend Sete Restaurant, close to the hotel. Good Portuguese food.

This is my third stay here and I'm sure that I'll be back when I am in Coimbra The elevator and airconditining are a must and they work very well here. The beds are comfy (I have always had a room with two single beds pushed together) and the desk and chair are very good. The bathroom is very upgraded and nice - good water pressure, new, nice facilities.
Angel322United States of America - 8.7Scored 8.7ExcellentRated excellent· 153 reviewsLocation is very good. The old city and Coimbra university available by walk. Was very good for one night or more to explore Coimbra. But steps! Like 3 normal floors. Not good for luggage, aged people or problems with knees. Good to visit hotel Oslo just opposite to the appartement parking and ask for a terrace view. Take a glass of wine and enjoy the view. The staff is very friendly.ElenaIsrael
