📅 Itinerary Day 1: Arrival in Coimbra, stroll through the historic University of Coimbra (UNESCO site), visit the stunning Joanina Library and climb the tower for city views. Evening walk along the Mondego River. Day 2: Explore the Old Cathedral (Sé Velha), wander the narrow medieval streets, and visit the Santa Clara-a-Velha Monastery. Afternoon at the Botanical Garden and relax in Praça da República with a coffee. In the evening, enjoy Fado ao Centro to hear traditional Coimbra fado music. Day 3 (departure): Breakfast in the city center, quick stop at Pedro e Inês footbridge, and pick up souvenirs before heading out. 🏨 Accommodation Stay in a boutique hotel or guesthouse in the old town — easy walking distance to main attractions. Many have charming views over the river or the university hill. 🍴 Food Recommendations • Loggia (inside Machado de Castro Museum) for traditional dishes with a modern touch. • Ze Manel dos Ossos for authentic Portuguese flavors. • Try local pastries like Pastel de Tentúgal or Arrufadas (sweet bread). 📌 Tips • Wear comfortable shoes — Coimbra is hilly with cobblestone streets. • Book university/library tickets in advance (they sell out quickly). • Evening Fado in Coimbra is unique (different from Lisbon) — don’t miss it! • Taxis and Bolt are available, but most sights are walkable
