The ancient capital of the kingdom and the oldest university city in Portugal, Coimbra has a special radiance and unmatched beauty.

On the banks of the Mondego, the city is divided into a lower and upper part, where visitors can walk and admire the numerous historic monuments in the Arco de Almedina (the entrance to the Muslim city) via the Sé Velha (the oldest cathedral in Portugal, with a quasi-military appearance) and the Mosteiro y Igreja de Santa Cruz, not forgetting the university dating back to the 13th century still used by thousands of students every year.
