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.

    Coimbra is a great city to visit and use as base to explore...

    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.

    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.

    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. The adjoining old cafe has a wonderful atmosphere with a performance of FADO (traditional Portuguese music ) every weekday from 6pm

    Five-minute walk from Coimbra A train station; online pix...

    Five-minute walk from Coimbra A train station; online pix meant we knew exactly which building to look for. This is a charming and old-fashioned hotel that antique-lovers should really enjoy; it's like being on the set of a 1920s or earlier movie, and has an old-fashioned wood-lined elevator, complete with folding bench. We loved the place, but ... The one perturbing thing was the lack of in-room Wifi, but there are lots of comfortable spaces to connect on the main floor. For a couple of vacation days, though, this was not a big deal.

    Coimbra was an unexpected pleasure to visit.

    Coimbra was an unexpected pleasure to visit. We had great accommodation in an accessible (by car) area, but removed from the every day bustle. Interesting old town, enjoyable music/fado offerings, good walks along the river and excellent food were all recommended by our helpful and knowledgable host. Had trouble finding parking at first (it's not well signed IMO),

    The world heritage site of the University Library is good...

    The world heritage site of the University Library is good but not exceptional. You need to book for it and the booking place is nowhere near the Library. The ticket gets you into the Chemistry Building and main hall, both well worth seeing. The Art Museum in the monastery and above the Roman Forum was the best place in Coimbra for me. St Tiago was the best church, brilliant early interior. Cathedral good and unusual in that was plain. Good views from the opposite side of the river and a couple of good monasteries there. Loads of good churches to see.Roman Conimbriga an occasional bus journey away is the best Roman site in Portugal. Funicular railway and an Exhibition place near the base. This used to be a monastic refectory and photogenic fountains close by. Really good. I suspect hardly any tourists visit I had visited Coimbra in Septermber 1978, amazed how many people now visit. Take the Lonely Planet Book with you.

    Everything and everyone. This little guest house is a real gem. It is located in Coimbra, city of Portugal not yet fully discovered by tourists. To me it is the real Portugal, with honest hospitality. The guesthouse is well decorated, visibly the owners put their heart in it. We also enjoyed little shop with fruit and the most needed stuff and next to it a bakery just outside the guesthouse. If we are again in Coimbra, we will for sure stay again in Vila Julieta.

    The renovation of the casa was exceptional. Very modern touches while keeping the historic details. The mattress was the most comfortable yet in all of our Portugal stays. Great communication. Overall a very special stay. The host left a bottle of wine and there were a lot of spices, cooking supplies, coffee pods, etc. We appreciated the casa allowing dogs to stay. We will definitely come back again at some point the future. Overall, highly recommended.

    Best stay in Portugal, the location was amazing. The scenery is unmatched and the staff were extremely helpful. The place looked even better than the pictures posted, was absolutely delighted with this stay. Of course you need a car but was a 6min drive to the city centre, loads to do and see in the city centre although the university you have to get tickets for everything and the times weren’t ideal. So I’d advice booking in advance.

    Having this linked to Hotel Oslo was excellent as the staff were very accommodating in changing our room as we had expected a sofa bed as listed in the description (as we are friends traveling together & hoped not to share one bed). However, it was not a sofa bed but the staff were very helpful. The Rooftop lounge at Hotel Oslo was an exceptional view of Coimbra & a great way to enjoy your lovely Port! Great location, amenities.

    A nice little old hotel with an updated air about it. Staff are professional. Parking is inconvenient - about 300 meters away and $10 a day, but it is a good walking neighborhood. We parked the rental car and didn't use it for the two days we were there Good restaurants and patisseries nearby. We did not take breakfast at the hotel as we enjoyed exploring the wide range of regional pastries for which Portugal is famous.

    It has been out absolute favourite stay in Portugal. The apartment is in the perfect location. you couldn’t get any closer to the university and many of the main sights. The view from the apartment was unbeatable. On top of there was a lovely bottle of green wine and a snack to welcome us. This extra touch made us feel so welcome. I would recommend this apartment to anyone going to Coimbra. We wish we could’ve stayed longer.

    Pretty 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.

    Everything; especially the location. Situated near the old square, we were serenaded with smooth jazz in the morning. We could reach the market, the university, cathedral, and river bridge in easy walks. The hotel staff were very kind, especially helping us with parking and our bags. The roof top terrace above the Hotel Oslo was special too. We would stay there again.
