Loved Coimbra. Our favorite part of Portugal so far. Lot’s to do, amazing sites to see, great restaurants, and friendly people. The old town is situated on a (steep) hill at the base of which is a river. At the top of the hill is the university with the town radiating out down the hill.
Ran into the set up for a Fado (sort of the blues of Portugal) concert - I was too tired to hang around - these things don’t start until 10 or 11 pm and go late into the night.
This shot is from our hotel up the hill - it’s steeper than it looks.
Pedestrian bridge crossing the river
The main pedestrian mall leading with large squares at both ends.
There are a few statues around, not as many as you’d think and mostly academicians,this one was interesting because it was so different.
Obligatory church and portico shots.
