Overlooking the city is the university, with its
old tower and a sumptuous Baroque library. 16 km
to the south, lies Conímbriga, the most important Roman
remains in Portugal.
Coimbra is one of Europe’s oldest university towns.
Besides the lovely university, there are exquisite botanical
gardens.
You can tour the extensive and important
Roman ruins best by picking up a hire car from our
Coimbra
office.
