Coimbra, set on a hill above the Rio Mondego is one of the most beautiful cities in Portugal. The old quarter is visible from every approach, nestled high above the surrounding landscape it cuts and impressive scene.
As one of the oldest cities in Portugal it is home to two cathedrals and a vast amount of churches, many of which now serve multi purposes such as cafés or museums.
