  • This is a shot of the first tourist information office we tried to visit when we first arrived in Coimbra. Since it wasn't open, we headed up to the one near the university. The one pictured here is right next to the Santa Clara Bridge on Largo de Portagem. The one by the university is at Largo Dom Dinis and is open from 9 am to 6 pm weekdays and 9 am to 12:30 pm and 2 to 5:30 pm on weekends.

     Well written! Thank you for the great tips.

     This was over 2 years ago, so by now I'm sure you've gotten reconciled to digital photography (the best invention since crunchy peanut butter in my opinion). My visit to Coimbra was on a bicycle tour of Spain and Portugal, quite a few years ago.

     you must go during the student festivities in May "Queima das Fitas"... this year they beat a world record... more beer drank in the less period of time... Cheers

     Did u go in summer ? I studies there (erasmus) from september to februari and nightlife was great, especially Via Latina. Maybe you went on a day that they had holidays because it's a vibrant city !
