2 Days in Coimbra Itinerary, Coimbra, Portugal

With two days in Coimbra, you’ll have time to see the famous landmarks, like the gorgeous university library, and also enjoy charming urban nature, Portuguese music, and more of the things that make Coimbra unique.

Use this 2-day Coimbra Itinerary to organise your trip and make the most out of your time in Coimbra. It’s compact and perfect for a short city break.

This itinerary matches Coimbra’s relaxed pace. It’s packed with activities but without the rush of a big city.

From there, continue into the old town shopping streets – Rua Ferreira Borges and Rua Visconde da Luz.

There are many cafes, restaurants, small local shops (not chain stores!), and souvenir shops with those beautiful Portuguese tiles printed on just about anything. ...... (follow the instructions below for accessing the rest of this article).
