Reputed for its university, the oldest in the country, Coimbra student life is buzzing. Lively and bustling all year long, it becomes a sleepy city during the summer holidays. In examination periods, you will often see students wearing the traditional costume wandering through the city's alleyways. Despite a shortage of hotels and restaurants, Coimbra is definitely worth staying a little while.
