About Coimbra
Coimbra is a riverfront city in western Portugal, just 130 miles north of Lisbon. The country's former capital is like a mini-Lisbon, containing all the highlights of urban life in a smaller population. Those interested in history, culture, and local markets will delight its medieval old town. Coimbra is known as a "city of students" thanks to its university- the oldest in Portugal and one of the oldest in Europe. It's also the most English-proficient city in the country.
