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).

Coimbra 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.
