Situated in central Portugal, Coimbra sits alluringly along the banks of the Mondego River, offering a treasure trove of historical and cultural gems. Regally known for housing the University of Coimbra, one of the world's oldest academic institutions, the city melds modernity and tradition effortlessly. It is particularly renowned for its preserved medieval old town, relic-filled museums, charming café culture, and Fado music, a melancholic genre of music that speaks deeply of love, pain, and longing. Adding to the allure of Coimbra are the intricately designed gardens and beautiful parks, making it an exceptional mix of natural beauty and historical richness.

Coimbra

I loved the city square area, and I was volunteering in Eiras. It is a great spot to do day trips to Porto and Lisbon etc, but there was a LOT of catcalling in Eiras. Other than that was super safe, some side streets looked a bit dodgy but that’s in every city
