Coimbra is the city with the most academic tradition in Portugal and a visit to the Universidade de Coimbra is a must. Wander through the famous library and steep in the tradition of the students black capes, with each tear representing the amorous conquests. In the upper part of the city, do not forget to visit to the Machado de Castro Museum - the largest Roman building in the Iberian Peninsula - with Gothic houses, Renaissance and Baroque works of arts, and a considerable collection of porcelain. The town centre has much to offer the visitor and the downtown quarter - known as the Baixa - by the River Mondego, is a warren of fascinating narrow streets, and its full of shops, cafés and churches. Quite apart from the vast number of museums in the city, the Roman ruins of Conímbriga are certainly noteworthy and can be found close to the town of Condeixa-a-Velha. For children, the Portugal dos Pequeninos theme park is undoubtedly the main attraction, where Portugals key historical and cultural landmarks are reproduced in miniature constructions, up to 4 metres high. May we suggest a tour? Renaissance coimbra Machado de Castro Museum, Especiosa Gate, Capela do Sacramento, Royal Tombs and the Manga Garden. Le siècle des lumières (18th century) New cathedral (Sé Nova), Natural History Museum, Chemistry Laboratory, Anthropology Museum, University Library (Bilbioteca Joanina) and the Botanical Gardens. The manueline route Machado de Castro Museum, St. Michaels Chapel and the Monastery and Cloister of Santa Cruz. Downtown history Largo de Sansão, Rua da Sofia, Terreiro da Erva, Rua da Direita, Rua da Moeda, Rua do Corvo, Paço do Conde, Rua Adelino Veiga, Praça do Comércio, Travessa dos Gatos and the Largo da Portagem. The azulejo in coimbra The azulejo is Portugals unique ceramic tile. Discover more, by visiting St. Michaels Chapel, the Machado de Castro Museum, the old Cathedral (Sé Velha), Santa Cruz, the University colleges along the Rua Sofia and the Society for Ancient Ceramics. Conímbriga museum and ruins A fascinating trip into the past - Conímbriga is a Roman city, built over an Iron Age village and the Roman Temple is a must-see. The Museu Monográfico is also interesting, especially for lovers of archaeology. |
