it is a very stylish boutique hotel, located just next to the university campus (all historical buildings, plus a short walk downhill to the city centre). it has an excellent restaurant and super helpful staff. The building is old yet refurbished with good taste. It was a perfect finish of my tour around Portugal. Bonus: a sweet turtle girl lives in the garden fountain.

The most amazing hotel I have ever seen on any continent. Incredible garden, fab history, lovely, welcoming staff with a special shout-out for Vera, the outstanding sommelière at Arcadas (a meal to die for!). Honestly, QdL deserves a 15 out of 10 - money well spent!

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 as a former capital, it’s full of historic buildings and fascinating attractions. The University of Coimbra is a highlight, especially its breathtaking library. The Cathedral is also incredibly beautiful and a must-see. The city’s rich history and charm make it a wonderful destination to explore.

    Coimbra is a very nice town. And you can go by train to Aveiro, another pleasant city, about one hour from Coimbra. And with a taxi or uber you can reach Conimbriga, old roman ruins (the best in the Iberic Peninsula), very interesting place.

    After Porto and then Lisbon we found Coimbra to be a welcome relief from the tourist hustle and bustle. Its a lovely town, quieter than the bigger cities but with some great sites. The University Library is spectacular as is the Cathedrals and the old town is very interesting wandering around. Definately worth the visit and turned out to be the highlight of our trip.

    We stayed one afternoon, night, and the following morning in Coimbra. This was enough time for us to explore what we wanted to see, which were some cathedrals in the old town, the university area, a nice botanical garden, and the restaurants and shops in the old town down by the river.

    It is a nice city, but lots of construction and we were there during Burning of the Ribbons, and the parade so the University Library was closed. We saw the gardens, which were ok. I thought it was fun to see the parade and all of the students celebrating, but my husband said he could have skipped Coimbra. We stayed on the main street, Rua Ferreira Borges, up the hill, (near town hall), but our friends stayed in a place that was parallel to the river, R. da Alegria. They said it was not a pleasant walk to their place as it smelled like urine.

    The city will be more inviting in a few years when some of the construction projects are completed. The people seemed friendly and helpful. I was disappointed to not find any churches or cathedrals that didn't charge an admission to enter. Most other places in Spain, France, and Germany were not like this.

    The hotel location is great. It’s right on the river, about 200m from Largo da Portagem, Coimbra’s main downtown square. The continental breakfast was really good, - plenty to choose from, including fresh fruit salad, and even scrambled eggs. It was one of the best we’ve had in Portugal. We booked the hotel because of its location and the fact it has onsite basement parking.
