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.

    The tour train was an excellent introduction to Coimbra.

    The tour train was an excellent introduction to Coimbra. It highlighted the 'must see' attractions. The night tour of the University and Library is fascinating, especially for those that enjoy university traditions and general history. The mini-city is also an informative yet fun experience, it displays the various architectures of Portugal through the ages. The boat trips are disappointing - I feel more could be done to improve the experience.

    There for a compition. Nice city. Nice resturants (most seem to want non-locals to pay with cash ....seems that's how it is). Spent most of the time in competition venue in ricer side gardens area (by the foot bridge). Had a wander round old city. Quant narriw (and steep) streets, juxtaposed with wide open spaces. The botenanical gardens (A mini Kew Gardens), part of university, were loverly, and on a hot sunny day, a nice break from the sun.

    The town is beautiful.

    The town is beautiful. We did the tour of the university and the fado concert and both were outstanding. The people were really nice and the town is both quaint and inviting. I loved it more than the bigger cities of Porto and Lisbon. I guess it depends on what you like, but I found it to be a wonderful place to visit. Be prepared to walk up some steep hills. Not as slippery as Lisbon, but just as challenging. And still, really worth the hike up to the university area... The Convento de Santa Clara a Nova is a real gem on the opposite side of the river, close to where we stayed. The tour was fascinating and the views also were spectacular. No other tourists were there when we visited, and we were able to get a private tour from one of the guides. We really enjoyed it immensely.

    I had never heard of Coimbra, only went to watch the European Triathlon Championships to support my daughter and partner. What a beautiful town it is. At first it looks a bit run down, there is regeneration going on by the river. It had a real charm to it, a university town steeped in history at the top of the old town. Didn't realise it was the capital in the 12th century! Lovely cafe's in tiny squares with delicious food and drink at a very reasonable price. The people of Coimbra were so friendly and helpful. Fell in love with Porto Tonica! (a long drink of white port, tonic water). Worth a visit for a long weekend.

    Lovely hostel, in the middle of the old town. The staff was very welcoming and helpful in recommending great ice cream places or places to visit in Portugal! The room was exactly like in the picture, but slightly even better :D It oozed of charm with its old chimney and the small but efficient bathroom. Around, many restaurants, shops, 2 streets away from the river, it was definitely the best location for a small city-trip!

    We were travelling through Spain and Portugal and wanted to stop somewhere that would allow us to chill, re-charge the batteries, enjoy a good meal and not have to pay an extortionate price. This hotel met every expectation for us. Great facilities, friendly service and a fantastic meal in the restaurant. Really easy to find just a few kilometres from the motorway.

    We loved everything! Paula is such a kind and welcoming person who was attentive to our every need! We loved having her tell us about the history of Portugal, of Coimbra and also how she took a dilapidated, abandoned house and turned it into a gorgeous guest home with state-of-the-art fixtures and the most incredible breakfast!

    Bed was comfy but the thin blanket kept me cold at night. I asked for an extra blanket and staff obliged so my other nights were snug and toasty. Best shower I’ve had in Portugal! Very nice staff. Location is close to train station and about 20 minute walk to bus station.
