While staying in Coimbra, these are pictures I took. See each for explanation. We lived in the historic center, near the University. I LOVED Coimbra. It is a bustling city, medium-sized. Has all of the conveniences of modern life, while still retaining it's medieval history (university 1290). It is a "young" city thanks to students at the Uni, but has such charm (history). If I were to live in Coimbra, I would choose another neighborhood-- probably missing the walkability of the historic center...oh well.
Down in Baixa- near the river- a group of cafes.
So beautiful
A random door down the street from our apartment.
I think it is another church?

See the neighborhood across the water Santa Clara
The Water Company-- see the gate to the right? That's the entrance to the Botanical Garden
Walking on the path in the Botanical Garden from Baixa to Alta
(I did this many mornings-- amazing)
From the University- the Alta
Us on the Mondego River kayaking trip
