Coimbra is a historic and picturesque city located in central Portugal. The city is famous for its ancient university, which was founded in the 13th century and is one of the oldest universities in Europe. Walking around the university campus, I was struck by the impressive architecture of the buildings, which include a beautiful baroque library and a stunning chapel. The city is also home to a variety of historic churches and monasteries, including the Santa Cruz Monastery and the Sevelha Cathedral. In addition to its historic architecture, Coimbra is known for its traditional fado music, which can be heard in many of the city's restaurants and cafes. Overall, Coimbra is a fascinating and beautiful city that should not be missed by anyone visiting Portugal.
