How safe is Coimbra?
Coimbra it’s a pretty safe city. You can walk alone in the dark with no problem, phone in hand. The most dangerous thing in the city are drunk straight students and old perverts that sometimes show up (has happened before).
Posted: March 20, 2025Coimbra is a small, university city. It's quiet on the weekends because most of the students leave. People use to meet up after midnight and it's common for girls and women to go back home by themselves at night.

I went to Coimbra 2 days ago and i can tell that Coimbra is one of the best cities in Portugal. The streets, culture, songs, buildings, and the view of the river were amazing. University is one of the oldest Unis. and did you know J.K Rowling was inspired of this University to write Harry Potter? I had so much fun. Besides it was quite safe. I liked almost every corner of the city.

I loved Coimbra. It's a university city. On the river level, there is a splendid promenade with brilliant cafes and street music. The hills are full of beautiful universities. I listened to Fado in an ancient cafe chapel and took an old boat tour with a guide. I stayed in a very reasonably priced boutique hotel, right by the promenade.
