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 location of the hotel is excellent, and the building is old, beautiful and fascinating. The architecture, furnishings, and finishes are all from a bygone era and a joy to see (the elevator alone is almost worth booking the Astoria). Like all of the public spaces the dining room where breakfast is served is beautiful. Our room was reasonably sized and the furniture was period appropriate. Desk staff were warm, welcoming and professional.

    It is all about the staff at Tivoli Coimbra. They are great. The room, while spacious had several issues. The bathroom was also a good size and the shower was good. The location was ok. It is located halfway between the Coimbra B train station and the Santa Cruz Cathedral. Breakfast reminded us of more 3 or even 2 star hotel.

    Staff was wonderful and it was a clean hotel. It was located in a more residential part of town easy accessible from Coimbra train station (you have to get the train from Coimbra-B, but it’s a 5 minute ride).
