Come visit Coimbra, a city by the river in the center of Portugal and the former capital of the country.
Coimbra possesses a vast and unique patrimonial wealth realized over centuries, having been chosen by D. Afonso Henriques as the first capital of the Kingdom of Portugal. The city was the birthplace of kings and a multicultural center, recognized by the definitive installation of the University in 1537, one of the most important and prestigious educational institutions in Portugal.
Closely linked to the City and the University are the academic traditions, the republics, the experiences between students and futricas and the song of Coimbra, where the erudite and the popular merge, constituting an intangible heritage of excellence.
Equally attractive is the natural landscape of Coimbra, highlighting its parks and gardens of significant historical and scientific value, which invite moments of contemplation ennobling the history and heritage of Coimbra.
