Coimbra is an ancient university town in the north of Portugal that oozes history and culture. The winding streets of the old town are home to a mishmash of medieval, baroque and neoclassical architecture, while the riverfront is lined with grandiose Manueline buildings. Take a wander up to the top of the hill to visit the imposing Coimbra University, the oldest in Portugal, or explore the many churches and monasteries that dot the city. When you’ve had your fill of history, head to one of the many lively cafés and bars in the old town, or jump on a train and explore the rest of Portugal.
