Coimbra, located in the center of Portugal, is a city that breathes culture and tradition. Home to one of the oldest universities in Europe, the University of Coimbra, the city is a vibrant academic center with a young and dynamic atmosphere. The narrow streets of the historic center lead to emblematic sites such as the Joanina Library and the University Tower, which bear witness to centuries of knowledge and learning.
On the banks of the Mondego River, Coimbra has a serene beauty, with its well-kept gardens and the imposing Sé Velha, a Romanesque cathedral that dominates the landscape. The melodic atmosphere of the academic tradition is complemented by traditional fados, Portuguese folk music, which echoes through the historic alleys. Coimbra is an enchanting fusion of academic history, medieval architecture and contemporary liveliness, offering visitors a unique experience.
