FAQs about hotels in Coimbra








A Seat of Learning and Royalty

Portugal’s medieval capital, and a pioneer of fado music alongside its modern counterpart Lisbon, Coimbra is a vibrant university city with a good helping of historic sights.

The university is the country’s oldest and its attractive buildings cover a small hill overlooking the Mondego River. The institution has an excellent science museum, the ornate Joanina Library, and one of the world’s oldest botanical gardens which contributes to the lush landscape.

The midweek nightlife in the city’s bars and restaurants is popular with students, while shopping options range from the stores of the CoimbraShopping complex to smaller boutiques on cobbled streets in the historic Baixa district.

The medieval centre houses the museum of Coimbran sculptor Machado de Castro and the Old Cathedral, begun under the reign of the first Portuguese King, Afonso Henriques. He is buried in Santa Cruz Monastery, while the tomb of a later queen – Elizabeth of Aragon – is in the Monastery of Santa Clara-a-Nova. She founded this hilltop convent to replace flood-prone Santa Clara-a-Velha below. Between them is Portugal dos Pequenitos where Portugal’s main monuments are reproduced in miniature.

Nearby is Quinta das Lágrimas, a 19th-century mansion that is now a luxury hotel on Booking.com. Also available are cheap hostels and guest houses near the 2 main train stations.

    Coimbra is a delightful town to visit.

    Coimbra is a delightful town to visit. The town is architecturally pleasing, with clean, safe, streets, and a refreshing lack of graffiti. There is a good choice of hotels and restaurants, and those that we patronized were of good quality, with helpful staff, all of whom, in our experience spoke good English. Recommended

    Coimbra is a great city to visit and use as base to explore other locations in central Portugal. Make sure you wear comfy shoes, the cobbles streets and walking is often up steep hills. The library is worth viewing at the university, but make sure you book in advance or get there early, as they have limited tickets and time slots. The parks are beautiful along the river and worth taking the time to visit. If adventuring out, highly recommend Obidos and the Buddha Eden garden, as well as Aveiro and Costa Nova.

    Coimbra has a lot to offer travelers. Centro (old part of town) is very lovely and has a lot to see. Many small interesting roads and pathways to walk around and see beautiful buildings, historical churchs, shops, cafes...Restaurants are reasonably priced and there is a variety of different cuisines to accommodate everyone. We stayed one night, but could have easily stayed another night.

    Five-minute walk from Coimbra A train station; online pix meant we knew exactly which building to look for. This is a charming and old-fashioned hotel that antique-lovers should really enjoy; it's like being on the set of a 1920s or earlier movie, and has an old-fashioned wood-lined elevator, complete with folding bench. We loved the place, but ... The one perturbing thing was the lack of in-room Wifi, but there are lots of comfortable spaces to connect on the main floor. For a couple of vacation days, though, this was not a big deal.

    This is a great, smaller-sized hotel in the heart of downtown Coimbra. 2 minute walk from the main drag in the city center, close to shops, restaurants and historic sites. The view of the university at the top of the old city at night is literally unbeatable, I would recommend staying here just for the view alone! That being said, the hotel was clean and comfortable and the staff were very friendly, they gave lots of good recommendations on where to go and how to get around town. I'd definitely stay here again.

    The hotel is located right in the heart of Coimbra which is a very charming and beautiful city. The hotel has easy access to the train station and other transportations. It is also walk minutes from bars, restaurants and some of the main attractions that the city has to offer. The property is managed by family so they look to every little detail and make sure we are welcome and comfortable. The breakfast was delicious! I stayed for 5 days in this hotel and I loved it! I felt I was in home!

    It has been out absolute favourite stay in Portugal. The apartment is in the perfect location. you couldn’t get any closer to the university and many of the main sights. The view from the apartment was unbeatable. On top of there was a lovely bottle of green wine and a snack to welcome us. This extra touch made us feel so welcome. I would recommend this apartment to anyone going to Coimbra. We wish we could’ve stayed longer.

    Pretty nice hotel centrally located. Walking distance to the most important sites to visit in Coimbra. I did like the fact that you can have access to the building and room by door code. Ricardo is very hospitable, please follow up his instructions to walk around the city, due to the hills in the city. The hotel is very clean, modern, comfortable. I do recommend Sete Restaurant, close to the hotel. Good Portuguese food.

    Everything, Paula was an exceptional hostess with an keen eye for details not only on a great property but she took time to give me a history lesson on the area, excellent dining recommendation and was a joy to talk too. I stayed at 14 different properties on my 21 day moto odyssey through Portugal and Spain and her boutique hotel was one of the best experiences. On top of all that Breakfast was wonderful.

    Location is excellent as it is very close, walking distance to Coimbra A train station and Praça do Comércio where there's plenty of restaurants and shopping. Also within walking distance, about 15 - 20 minutes over the bridge to Portugal dos Pequenitos. Hotel was clean and comfortable. Great hotel value if you're not spending a lot of time in your room!

    Hotel Tivoli is more like a business hotel than a tourist hotel, but our room was quite large and comfortable. It is about a 10-15 minute walk to the center of Coimbra, and is located approximately mid-way between the Coimbra A and Coimbra B train stations. There's a good restaurant attached to the hotel.
