COIMBRA

On the banks of the Mondego river, the ancient capital of Portugal is a nostalgic city full of romance and red roofs, with a vast historical and cultural heritage.

Coimbra has many labyrinthine and narrow streets, filled with lively bars and restaurants. To reach the upper part of the city, it is recommended to go to the Arco de la Almedina to cross the old wall of Coimbra, and  from that point you face the historical streets of this old town, with its maze of cobblestoned, staircased streets reminiscent of medieval times.

The famous thirteenth-century university is one of the oldest in Europe and created a distinctive young ambience. For this reason, in Coimbra the fado emerged among student circles, performed exclusively by men. Near Rua do Quebra Costas, that goes up from Baixa part to Alta part of the city, sitting at a table in a café while you are served by waiters dressed in elegant jackets with an impeccable level of service. The sound of a Portuguese guitar and the fadist start singing that "Coimbra has more charm when it is time to say goodbye ... ".
